Hi Don,
To recover data as recent as 8/28 you should be able to direcly restore it
thru point in time restore ( see the dsmc command menu for any help) . You
need not have to undergo the painful task of disaster recovery. Data would
be on the primary storage pool.



Please revert back for any help.
