I created an AFTD device (Y:\aftd) with an associated volume 
(SomeData.003) on a Windows storage node about three weeks ago, for a one-
time use in backing up some data locally to the storage node.

Once given the all-clear by my mgmt, I deleted the AFTD and the volume 
from NetWorker.

As you've undoubtedly predicted, I now am being told we need that data 
recoverable after all!  :-)

EMC support says this is not an officially-supported process, and will 
involve some recreation of the AFTD, after which I will need to do some 
stuff to "suck in" the data that is SomeData.003.

Has anyone else done this, and can you help me understand what's involved?

Thanks
