Yes you can extend your retention time on expired savesets.

You need to change the browse time of the SSID/CLONEID to some recent or even 
better future time (e.g. . tomorrow's date) using
# nsrmm -e -t <new date> (...)
 **AND**
 change the mode of the SSID/CLONEID to "notrecyclable" using
 # nsrmm -o notrecyclable (...)

then you can run nsrck -L7 to recover the index for that saveset
