Thanks to everyone for thier responses and help. Due to the version of TSM we're running (415) I did have to change my decvonfig to MANUAL - afterwhich point the db restore worked like a champ.
I was able to restore the TSM database back to the 27th, then restore my lost filesystem data, and then restore the TSM database back to the 29th at 2:30PM. Let's just say that I have never been as impressed with the TSM product as I was yesterday afternoon! Thanks again to everyone for their help; Theresa
