Richard Sims mentioned the Select under the heading "Copy Storage Pool
up to date?" in ADSM.QuickFacts.

Very useful, thank you.

I tried it (immediately after running backup stgpool) and got 

 -14

So, I've got 14 files in my copy storage pool that are not in the primary 
pools. 

Some Select commands later, I have now a list of these 14 files. Checking 
the client I see that
 a) they are still on disk,
 b) dsmc q backup tells me they are backup up,
 c) if I try to access them with dsmc restore the server wants to mount a 
    tape from the copy storage pool.

My first idea was to run a "restore stgpool <name> preview=yes" for all 
relevant primary storage pools. All these processes end with 

 Files restored: 0, Bytes restored: 0

Any advice on what I should do now? I can think of several things to try, 
namely:

 - Delete the copy pool volume where the extra files reside, in the hope 
   that the 14 files will be backed up in the next incremental backup. I 
   hesitate to do this.

 - Run "dsmc selective" on those files.

 - Open a call with TSM support. I had a database consistency problem 
   a few days after the files in question were backup up. It was resolved 
   by TSM support then.

Server Version 5.3.2.0 running on Windows Server 2003 SP1
