Well, the good news - you get to test your DR plan! Bad news - it's quite a bit of work.
1) STOP any reclamation processes ASAP. 2) BACKUP your TSM DB as it is now. 3) RESTORE your TSM DB to a point BEFORE your deleted the filespace. 4) EXPORT the client's filespace to a tape. (Will work unless a RECLAIM managed to write over the data after you deleted the filespace). 5) RESTORE your TSM DB from the backup in 2) above 6) IMPORT the filespace you exported. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: Chet Osborn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 3:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Recovery of deleted filespaces Hi, In attempting to help a user clean up his backups, mistakenly assumed that he had copies of the subset of folders that he wanted to back up on his disk drive. I deleted the TSM filespace, only to discover that my assumption was incorrect. If I can figure out which tapes the backups are on, is there any way of restoring them?
