Nope - frozen media will still expire the images.
The consultant is correct, although, infinity is a very long time...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] preserving images that are ready to run past retention
I have some media with images on it that are about to expire. In other
words, the retention period
set in the policy has reached its end. I have file corruption and don't
want to loose these images
that are about to expire. I was told by a consultant that I should execute
the following command
on the pieces of media.
bpexpdate -m <media id> -d infinity
Now this will set the piece of media to not expire but will it keep the
images on it from
being over written and or expiring as well? That is my question. I always
thought you would just freeze the media.
thanks
bobby
