I am running RM 4.2.4 and want to change the retention of our RRD files. If i adjust the RRD Create Command for each collector will i lose all historical data? Do i have to wipe all rrd files to adjust this?

example of one of our colelctors: Id like to increase the retention from 14 days to 60 or 90 days. 

RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:4032 
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:720
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:96:270
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:720
RRA:MAX:0.5:12:720
RRA:MAX:0.5:96:270
RRA:MAX:0.5:288

No, the RRD create command only affects new datasources. It won't affect existing datasources (those will remain as they are, so you'd need to delete the RRD files in order to have them create using the new RRD command - data would be lost, of course).
