The RESTORE VOLUME command is used for this. Use it with
preview=yes and it won't actaully do restore. Then look at actlog
and you will see what tapes are needed to actually do the restore
including tapes in vault. I have used this many times to restore
broken/bad tapes.
Note with the dynamics of *SM when you get tapes back tomorrow
, you may stilkl need more tapes sometimes as reclamation has moved
data to another tape. May take a 2nd retrieve from vault to get all.
Doesn't happen too often though. I wait till late in day to run and get
list of tapes needed ffrom vault to improve the chances of one request
doing the whole job.

Is there a procedure to replace the data on a tape that has went
bad? We use 3590 tapes on our AS/400 side and they are known to break the
tape or just become unusable for some reason.
We haven't had a bad tape on the PC side yet. We use a library that
has the tapepool tapes in it and have our copypool tapes in the vault. I
know it will happen one day and I need some way to replace the data that was
on the unusable tape either from the library or from the vault.
Server is a WinNT4 running 4.1.3.
Thanks...
