I'm confused. I have a tape with an expired saveset. I need to extend the
saveset expiration date, so I can then go and do a "nsrck -L7" on the

I thought this was a two step process wherein you used 'nsrmm -e -S' and 'nsrmm -o notrecylable -S' for the save set? I can't recall the order (it might not matter), but I thought certain values wouldn't change until both after commands were run? Then again, if you've done this before using just the one command then not sure.

So there's the ssid, and the cloneid, and it expired back on July 25.

nsrmm -S  1407033572/1306370106 -e 12/31/2018
If this saveset has dependents with longer retention periods, the
dependent savesets will not be browsable after the retention policy
expiration dat
`Mon Dec 31 00:00:00 2018'.
Are you sure you want to change the retention policy expiration of this
saveset to `Mon Dec 31 00:00:00 2018'? (yes/no)  [no] yes

And yet, the expiration doesn't change ...

006510         MSSQL:   full  5/25/2011 8:35:05 PM 7/25/2011 11:59:59 PM
7/25/2011 11:59:59 PM 1407033572 1306370106 vrEF

So what am I doing wrong, in this case? This is the same procedure I
usually use, to recover expired savesets ....
