Please help, I am confused.
I found a place that claims they can actually recover data from a 3590E (very expensive).
They have my tape and report they "successfully scanned the tape and identified 970 blocks of stored raw data. This data contains a single file called ADSM.BFS.V000F89"
I know that ADSM.BFS is a default data set name indicating the tape will be used by TSM for data storage.
Several questions...
Is that the tape label? (I know I did a label libvol ) this one in my mind is DRA271. We order the tapes 'labeled and initialized' (if anyone has a good handle on this I would appreciate info)
Would the data be stored in a single aggregate file?
Is there a default block size on the 3590E?
I am looking for ~16 G from this particular tape.
Thanks in advance.
