A while back I had to change the retention period of all of the images 
on a handful of tapes from 2 weeks to 3 years.  But the tapes still show 
the media as having a 2 week retention level even though all of the 
images expire roughly 3 weeks from now.  Since newer tapes in the given 
pool have a 3 year retlevel, they are getting used for backups, but some 
of the 2 week retlevel tapes are not full but don't get used since I 
don't allow mixing of retlevels.

So, the question is: Can I change the retlevel of the tapes without 
changing the tapes' images' expiration dates?  The bpexpdate -m option 
changes both the tapes and the images.

Thanks,

Justin
