This have been asked several times but the answer is still mostly negative
- you have information what is residing on those volumes in CONTENTS
table, but information from what date/time is the data is held in BACKUPS
and ARCHIVES tables. AFAIK TSM server does not provide method to build a
relation there.

We frequently get tapes from other sources and are expected to restore
them.
The problem I'm finding is the original environment sends me their TSM
database and it may have restores for a given server (say SERVERA) going
back a year (so lets say 365 backups that the TSM DB is aware of). Now
they
only send me 200 tapes and I'm faced with figuring out which of those
backups that the DB knows about for SERVERA do I *actually have*? I
realize
this is probably a perfect candidate for a select query or macro where I
pass in a list of volumes and it spits out what backup dates it knows
about.
Something I'll have to figure out how to determine.

Similarly I'm curious though whether this is doable with Agent backups
(specifically Exchange)..

Anyone develop something like this so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?
Any thoughts? Appreciate the help lately.

Thanks!
Gerald
