Re: SUMMARY:Archive recovery
Yep, Ive done that. It just takes time. A suggestion: When you back up the current copy of the ADSM data base, make a copy of the DEVCONFIG and VOLHIST files somewhere OTHER than their usual locations; they will be wiped out when you reload the backlevel DB, and you might want to refer to them when restoring going forward again. -Original Message- From: Page, Jennifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SUMMARY:Archive recovery Thanks. That's the answer we got from IBM as well. IBM gave us the following plan(if we chose to implement): 1) backup current copy of ADSM database 2) restore old version of database 3) get file from tapes 4) restore today's version of ADSM database back Thanks again for the prompt reply! -Original Message- From: Prather, Wanda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 10:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 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..

Re: SUMMARY:Archive recovery
We used to call this the Hail Mary restore, because some prayer is involved... If expiration and reclamation has run, it's possible that the old files are no longer physically on any tape. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Page, Jennifer Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SUMMARY:Archive recovery Thanks.

Re: SUMMARY:Archive recovery
If you have the disk to spare, I'd also suggest using different volumes for your old database, even if you have to cannibalize stgpool disk to do it. It makes getting back to today about 3,000,002.2542 times faster (that's an exact number).
