Have checked this and we have two policy sets one active and one standard with the following settings
Policy Domain Name: NOTES Policy Set Name: ACTIVE Mgmt Class Name: STANDARD Copy Group Name: STANDARD Copy Group Type: Backup Versions Data Exists: 3 Versions Data Deleted: 1 Retain Extra Versions: 7 Retain Only Version: 20 Policy Domain Name: NOTES Policy Set Name: STANDARD Mgmt Class Name: STANDARD Copy Group Name: STANDARD Copy Group Type: Backup Versions Data Exists: 5 Versions Data Deleted: 1 Retain Extra Versions: 7 Retain Only Version: 180 According to thses setting the database file required for restore should still be available, although cannot seem to go back further than 3 days, and require a restore from an earlier period.Was thinking of calling back relevant tapes from offsite and checking if database file can be located, but not sure if this is indeed correct method of restoring from tape. Any help would br greatfully received.

The QUERY COPYGROUP command on the TSM Server will enable you to see the policy settings including how many copies to keep and for how long to keep them.
