Perhaps you have a backup of the volhist backup file as
specified on your VOLUMEHistory server option, which
you could restore and examine?

Your plight is why I stress that Activity Log data *must*
be kept as long as the oldest-written tapes.  Keeping it
all in the TSM db is too much bloat: we use Q Actlog
to extract old data and save it in opsys disk files,
which we store in HSM.  We have 5 years worth, which
makes it easy to find out where a tape has been.
