Yes, but....

You may want to ensure the copy pool version gets restored before you need
it;  "restore volume" is designed with this in mind -- refer to the admin
guide or reference, as it's dependent on the database info to find the copy
pool data.

If you truly wiped out all references to the data, the copypool references
might have (also) been deleted -- depends on how you deleted the volume's
data.  If you need old versions of data stored on that tape, you may need to
restore the TSM db to a point in time where it contains the copy pool info,
then do the "restore vol" (possibly, run 2nd TSM instance on current
server).

Alternatively, it may be simpler/easier to regenerate the data from the next
backup cycle --- or start backups now, to expedite backup of current
versions for the data that got "destroyed".
