Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it is when 
you import an expired image, the imported image is set to expire based 
on the original retention setting plus today's date.

So, for example, if you had a series of images that had a 90 retention 
and you imported them today, the new images would be set to expire on 
October 10, 2009.

As far as suspending the media first, I can't remember if Netbackup is 
picky about media state. I'm pretty sure it can't be frozen, but beyond 
that I don't know.

Hope I kind of answered your question.
