Question is if you import those images from a 32 bits NetBackup to a 64 bit 
NetBackup, will they still expire in 2038 or automatically change to the 2^64 ?

So I need to change the expiration date on a bunch of images to
 infinity
(for legal reasons). I plan to write a script to parse a text file

from a catalog search for the backupids of the needed images. I
 tested
out changing the expiration date of an image to infinity manually
 first.
When I ran a bpimagelist and converted the ctime for the expiration
 date
I got back an expiration of "Mon Jan 18 19:14:07 2038."



My question is: Is this is just some random date that NetBackup
 assigns
to images that are never supposed to expire?
2038 is the end of the UNIX epoch and that is why its associated with infinite retention




Below is the bpexpdate command I ran:



bpexpdate -backupid pasnas01a_1191283460 -d infinity -force
