[Veritas-bu] Policy and Schedule name change question |

I recently changed the names of all my policies using the bppolicynew
-renameto option (to a more logical and consistent naming scheme).
However, I've also had to make retention period changes to certain
policies as well as the existing images for those policies using
bpexpdate -recalculate. The retention period has gone from about 1
month to 3 years due to a misunderstanding on my part of the role of
those policies. (We delete the data once it's been backed up, so it's
more like a finite archive.)
Anyway, in this case I *do* have to remember the old names. For a long
time. So is there a way to change the old policy name associated with
an existing image to match the new name?
Thanks,
Justin
