Brief answer:
If you know which tapes had this data AND you know those
tapes haven't been reused, then you can do this. You dont' need both
onsite and offsite tapes, if either one exists, that will be sufficient.
Basically make a DB backup now. Then restore your system from
the DB backup tape that Sunday backup.
Then restore data. Youmay have to get offsite tapes etc.etc.
to have tapes in library that are needed and set them to correct state.
After restore is complete, restore your system back to your current
state with the DB backup you made today.

TSM Server 5.1.6.5 on AIX 4.3.3 ML-11
While cleaning up old data in our TSM system, we deleted a filespace from
which a year-end snapshot had been taken. Upon the deletion of the
filespace, TSM notified us that both the primary tape and the copy tape
had toggled to "pending" status. This occurred on Monday during our
weekly maintenance cycle.
The last prior DB backup is from Sunday morning. We have taken daily DB
backups since and will take another today.
Is there any way to recover that tape's data? I've thought about rolling
the system back to Sunday, but I would have to eventually roll it forward
to today to prevent orphaning the backups that have occurred since then.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
