No. Without the database that is governing the volume, recovery of the data on the volume is essentially impossible.

Is the tape format used by ADSM/TSM to write data on tape during backup well known or published? If I can find a way to read the tapes by just knowing the tape format then I can write a utility which can be included in a disaster recovery plan as a standby option.
