Another one of the problems I have with TSM is this issue. At the time I had the same issue as you Wira. I went through a lengthy test trace with IBM a few years ago and found that was the only way to get a list of tapes the system needed for the restore. As I recall the list seemed to be in order of use.
Geoff Gill TSM Administrator PeopleSoft Sr. Systems Administrator SAIC M/S-G1b (858)826-4062 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I used TSM for long time. Until now I'm still feel bad every time when I have to restore data especially when restore data from API (TDP for oracle and backup image). The restore data size is very huge so they need more than one volume to restore. Unfortunable I cannot maintain all backup volumes in the library. So there are some volumes place out of library. Every time I plan to setup restore schedule in the night but I cannot reliably that the restore will be compeleted because I don't know which volume should checked in before. Any idea please suggest.
