I've noted the existance of the adsmtape program and I really need a version that will work for TSM 4.1 on AIX. Here's a mail I posted on sourceforge in the adsmtape discussion:
Hi, I've inherited a problem where some monthly archive data was tagged for 5 week retention rather than 7 years. Fortunately, this only affects 20% of the montly archive. Each archive resides on one DLT4 tape so my offsite tapes still contain the data even though the TSM database has expired the entries for it. I know the tapes, I know the files, there are no spanned files and the important files are too big to be aggregated. Tivoli wants $US85k+ to give me a salvage solution. Is there any chance of a version of adsmtape that will allow me to get my data back? If anyone out there can give some advice it would be very much appreciated.
