I have a requirement for a third party to restore our file server to specific points in time using offsite tapes. I just have dates they want but no specifics on files or what they are looking for. They just want a copy of the server. We have TSM 5.5.4.0 running on Windows 2003 server and an offsite copytape pool of 96 tapes. They have their own system and are trying not to interfere with ours.
We offered to give them all the copytapes but they decided against this. They do take database tapes and get a list of the copytapes they are looking for but the turnaround is long enough that reclamation renders their list obsolete.
If they can dig this information out of a database tape then there must be a way for me to do it as well. Or at least get the information out of the database.
Does anyone know of a script or other method which would allow me to get both a database tape and a list of needed copytapes for the requested date at the same time so that I can satisfy their demands?
A consultant engagement is very possible.
