Re: Archive recovery
And you never want to tell anyone that you can do this. If they know you can they'll want you to. On the other hand, letting the organization know that you, and only you, can perform awesome feats can only help advance your salary. Just be sure to thwart requests for such feats by also advising that actually performing the feat will be infeasible for the organization because of the costs involved - which they hopefully won't associate with your salary and thus reduce it to make the feat feasible. Kinda sounds like a Simpsons episode. :-$ Richard Sims, BU

Richard, And you never want to tell anyone that you can do this. If they know you can they'll want you to. On the other hand, letting the organization know that you, and only you, can perform awesome feats can only help advance your salary. Hmm, this would normally be true, except that - I work for IBM! 'Nuff said I think! I'm sure fellow IBM'ers on this list will know what I mean... Only joking :o) Just be sure to thwart requests for such feats by also advising that actually performing the feat will be infeasible for the organization because of the costs involved - which they hopefully won't associate with your salary and thus reduce it to make the feat feasible. Kinda sounds like a Simpsons episode. :-$ Simpsons episode? Now that sounds more like the IBM that I work for! Once again, only joking!

Re: Archive recovery
No. To do that you would have to restore your TSM data base back to a time when it still contained the pointers to that tape. -Original Message- From: Page, Jennifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 10:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Archive recovery looked in archive list but did not find and answer, new to list..
