Yup - the move data, submitted something like 7-8 times, has done nothing to
help us. Too many errors.

LESSON LEARNED: the delete vol was issued before the restore vol.

Happily enough, the data on that volume was actually three files that I
really really don't want backed up, as they had old mgt class bindings and
took up a ton of space, so I only have to get slightly upset with myself.
:-)

Thanks for the help!

"del vol disc=yes" will not only delete your primary volume but also your
copy volume.

This should work:
move data 00035-L1 # to get as much data of it as possible
upd vol 00035-L1 acc=destroyed
restore vol 00035-L1 (preview=yes)

Subject: Restoring data after deleting a volume


So I've got a volume that got all sorts of messed up somehow, one that
resides in my tapepool. I've tried moving the data from it with no luck -
too many errors. Since I should have a copy of this in the copy pool, I
should be all set. So I'm going to delete the volume with discarddata=yes
and make sure I've got the data from the copypool mirrored back onto the
tapepool (onto a new tape somewhere).

Question is, how do I do that? As in syntax? I can't just be "restore vol
00035-L1" or something that simple, right?

Thanks in advance...
