Tapes recycled

From the arkeia gui, I set the tapes to recycle in ten years, but something went wrong and my tapes are recycling at 10 days. 

I have about 40 tapes that have already been labeled as recycled that I would like back in my library.  What is the best way to go about recovering them ?   The tapes are in a case on a shelf, so I know they haven’t been overwritten. 

I also have about 20 tapes that will be recycled tomorrow if I don’t do something.  I can use the CLI to change the access type to SECURED, and access to [~RECYCLE].     Is this sufficient to keep the tapes from being marked recycled and keep them usable for a restore opperation at a later date ?   

Is there a method to modifiy the date a tape is scheduled to be recycled ?
