Worst case scenario, you could just bring the entire pool back onsite, and issue the restore command. TSM then should prompt you for the tapes it needs, and depending on the length of your tape mount wait period, you should have enough time to check in the volume to the library.
It's not *really* elegant, but in the case of a TSM managed library and reasonable mount wait period it will work. I did this with a customer that demanded that only a single copy of archives be kept, and kept offsite... -----Original Message----- From: Roy Lake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 8:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do I know what tapes my data is on - The Final Chapter !!! (hopefully!) Yeah - this is all very well and good, but I STILL won't know what tapes my data is on will I?. For instance, I have a set of 15 tapes. The customer says "Please restore July 2001 data". How can I know which tapes to check into the library? - I dont want to end up checking them ALL in to just restore from ONE of the tapes!.
