You can only change the retention of the management class. You don't rebind if the files are already bound to the management class you change. (You don't change retention by volume) If you can change the retention by the node, then you can move the nodes to a new domain with the same name management classes. Than just change the expiration of those management classes

How do you know what is on those volumes? Need more information... Is this copy pool data? Is it data for a single node and you know what is on it because of collocation?

I do not want to change all of the volumes on a node, only select volumes. I know that retention is determined by the management class and if you change the management class it rebinds on the next backup but I need to be able to change it on existing volumes without backing up again or changing it on all of the data. Is there any way to do this and if so, how can I accomplish this quickly. We were informed today and they want it by tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
