Coincidentially, a co-worker and I were musing over something very similar about a week ago. The vos dump format isn't all that difficult to understand (I was stuck at figuring out the directory file format when I last worked on it several months ago, but I think even that would make sense --- well, be understandable in short time). Because of the way I do afs backups at home, I've had a desire to 'synthesize' dump files, and started on some python code to pull useful info out of dump files. We were talking about this and I realized that it would be possible to do much like you are describing above. TSM did cross my mind (since I've also been stuck in TSM land for the past nine months), although I wasn't necessarily planning on trying to shove stuff into it. Since our backups at work are working well enough I doubt I'd ever get around to doing anything with shoving stuff into TSM, although the stuff I eventually plan on finishing might be useful. -- Thomas L.
