If you run your backups through the TSM scheduler it is nice to have VERBOS logging to the dsmsched.log. If you keep it around you will see when the file in question was backed up. Every file that backups up has an entry in the dsmsched.log when run VERBOSE. Also, when a file is deleted from a system you can see what date and time because you will see when it gets expired.

We want to generate this list so we can store it for later browsing, if necessary. The reason for this is that I am about to do an import for a node that was exported and deleted, just because the user thinks there is a file in the archives that they need. It would have been nice to simply browse a file and say "nope, the file you want wasn't on that box and there isn't a backup/archive for it".
