I have an old saveset that had expired, but still remained in the media 
db. So I re-scanned the tapes, in the order shown by the fragflags and 
sumflags. I was able to change the retention date to be 7 years in the 
future, but can't change the browse date. It says:

>nsrmm  -S 1891137112  -w "84 months"
Cannot exceed the browse time of a recoverable save set 1891137112

And I don't see why I can't change it.

C:\>mminfo -s admnman004 -avot -q 
"client=nt_san1,name='H:\Users',savetime>08/25/2008,savetime<09/01/2008" 
-r name(10),ssid,volume(10),
savetime(22),ssbrowse(22),ssretent(22),cloneid,clretent(22),level,ssflags,sumflags

Can somebody give me a hint as to what I am missing? It's a really big 
saveset (>600G), and being able to browse it would make my life a whole 
lot easier ...

Is it the fact that the normal browse/retention policy is 24 months? I 
tried changing this client's definition so that it's browse/retention 
policy to be 7 years, but still can't change the browse time. (I don't 
want the usual browse/retention policy to be 7 years; I usually just set 
the EOM savesets to be 7 years). Will I have to re-scan these tapes again, 
now that the difference in time between the save time on tape does not 
exceed the browse/retention policy of the client (as it did, when the 
browse/retention policy was 24 months)?
