Altering the browse time in the client resource won't have any effect on
existing backups anyway. The browse time is stored in the media DB for
each save set. It used to work the other way a very long time ago, I
think at pre-NW6.

You need to make changes to each save set as required, and then wait for
nsrim to run to reclaim the index space, or run it manually if you like.
