q content VOL copied=no will tell you whether there are files on the damaged tape that are not in a copy pool. If there are, you will have to delete vol VOL discarddata=yes and hope you don't need to restore those versions. Once the del vol completes successfully, the next incremental will back up those files if they were the active version and if they still exist on the client.
q content VOL copied=yes will tell you whether there are files on the damaged tape that are still in a copy pool. If so, run another restore vol VOL preview=yes to see what volumes you need, retrieve them, and do another restore vol.

After performing a restore volume from the copy pool I got a message saying: ANR1256W Volume volume name contains files that could not be restored. Will TSM back these files up during the next incremental? Brett Whitlock Storage Management Group COUNTRY(r) Insurance and Financial Services (309)821-4162 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
