Sorry, not sure what you mean with this:

the final backup i have to do as 8-15-2015

Do you want the expiration date of 8-15-2014 backup as 8-15-2015?

Or do you want to create a duplicate of 8-15-2014 backup with expiration date on 8-15-2015?

Or do another backup on 8-15-2015?

Still asuming you wish to increase the retention period of the backup till  8-15-2015

if backup is on the tape incrase the retention period of the tape and images

bpexpdate -backupid <backup id> -d 8/16/2015

bpexpdate -m <media id> -d 8/16/2015

if you wish to duplicate tape to tape please follwow this thread
