Robert,

        Yes use the Restore volume command.  You can find it in the admin guide.
Here is a quick snap shot:

In this scenario, an operator inadvertently destroys a tape volume (DSM087)
belonging to the TAPEPOOL storage pool. An administrator performs the
following actions to recover the data stored on the destroyed volume by
using the offsite copy storage pool:


Determine the copy pool volumes that contain the backup copies of the files
that were stored on the volume that was destroyed by entering:
restore volume dsm087 preview=volumesonly

This command produces a list of offsite volumes that contain the backed up
copies of the files that were on tape volume DSM087.


Set the access mode of the copy volumes identified as UNAVAILABLE to prevent
reclamation. Note: This precaution prevents the movement of files stored on
these volumes until volume DSM087 is restored.


Bring the identified volumes to the onsite location and set their access
mode to READONLY to prevent accidental writes. If these offsite volumes are
being used in an automated library, the volumes must be checked into the
library when they are brought back onsite.

Restore the destroyed files by entering:
restore volume dsm087

This command sets the access mode of DSM087 to DESTROYED and attempts to
restore all the files that were stored on volume DSM087. The files are not
actually restored to volume DSM087, but to another volume in the TAPEPOOL
storage pool. All references to the files on DSM087 are deleted from the
database and the volume itself is deleted from the database.


Set the access mode of the volumes used to restore DSM087 to OFFSITE using
the UPDATE VOLUME command.

Set the access mode of the restored volumes, that are now onsite, to
READWRITE.

Return the volumes to the offsite location. If the offsite volumes used for
the restoration were checked into an automated library, these volumes must
be checked out of the automated library when the restoration process is
complete.
