They will expire tomorrow or whenever you run 'Expire Inventory' from tomorrow on. There is no way to change the archive retention within TSM. What you should do is to restore the archive and then re-archive it to a management class with a longer retention period.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make sure I understood the archive retention period correctly so that some of the users at my company don't lose data they wanted to restore from 12/31/2002. Apparently they archived the data on 12/31/2002 and it has a retention period of 65 days. Today is the 65th day. Will the files expire today or will they expire tomorrow? Also, is there anyway to prevent them from expiring (give them a longer retention period) before restoring the file? Thanks for your help!
