Gavin, You cannot extend the retention period of a single backup but leave all of the others as they were. Think of a DP for SQL backup being like a file backup. The same management class settings apply to all versions of a particular file.
You can change the retention period of ALL of the current backups by changing the management class settings or by binding the backups to a new management class by using the INCLUDE statement and running a new backup.
