Good morning all! I'm in a predicament that I could use some help on. I was in this spot a many years ago and someone on this forum helped me figure it out - at least I think it was this forum; but I can't find it.
I've got this 6.3.3.0 server running in Win2K8R2 using 500TB of replicated NAS for storage of BFS backup data files. About 15,000 BFS volumes worth of data and I need to restore from a major system wide crash.
During the restore I've found there are roughly 200 BFS volumes missing from disk. This is a SAN replicaiton problem, not a TSM problem, but it's my problem.
I've identified the missing volumes and marked them as destroy but I need to go a step further and this is where I got help here last time, I just don't remember who or how...
1) I want to query the database directly and find out what files/filesets were on these volumes.
2) Then based on that information I want to search the database of existing remaining volumes to find the last versions of the missing files so I can do a point-in-time restore.
I know it's not exactly an easy task but I've done it before so I know it can be done... I'd appreciate any assistance anyone can offer!
Thanks,

Oh, and btw, I didn't architect the system - so don't judge
