Arnaud, Depending upon how much you want the files on this volume back, it *is* possible, but not using any cosy commands like restore volume etc.
As TSM only deletes references from the database and not the actual data from the tapes, providing you haven't overwritten the data yet on the volume that you have erased you'll probably be okay. To be extremely brief, you'd install an additional instance of TSM Server on your server (make sure you use a different TCPPort etc. in your dsmserv.opt!) and restore a TSM database backup from before you deleted the tape. You would then be able to get hold of the data on the tape, and if nothing else restore it to a temporary staging area... There's been mention of this on the list a few times before - this process is also useful for getting back expired data, depending upon how dynamic your tape pool usage is...

Hi List, Quick question : I accidentally issued "delete volume" on a false primary volume (typing error), after I realised my mistake I cancelled the job, but some files where already deleted. Is there a chance, using "restore volume", to get this data back, or does TSM consider those files as deleted in copy pool too ? TIA. Regards.
