You should ALWAYS use bpexpdate -recalculate with a new retetion level or with a new expiration date.
In NetBackup 7.5, if 'bpexpdate -recalculate' is invoked from the command line without the '-d' or '-ret' option, incorrect expiration dates for images may be recalculated, which may lead to early expiration of those images.
