It will save all backups, existing as well as new. Essentially each file is
bound to a management class and kept that long. If the retention period in
the class changes, it changes the retention on all files bound to that
class.

Subject: Backup Retention Period
We are running TSM 3.7.3 on OS/390 2.8. I have a request from my boss to
temporarily extend a retention period for some server backups. I know where
I can reset the retention information, but it was not clear to me if this
would be retroactive for existing backups or just affect new backups. The
intention is to save some backups that are about to expire for a little
while longer since some customers have reported they did not get all of
their files back from a large restore we had to do.
Any other suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks
