retreving archival data after the expiration has run

[pharthiphan]

Hi Folks,

I want to retrieve the archived data from TSM which got expired. [Unknowingly retention was set to 30 days]

Data which was archived on 12 Feb 2015, must have been possibly expired on 14 Mar 2015.

The tape volumes got reclaimed and in scratch status. We haven't taken any backup/ archive from 23rd Feb 2015 so there is no chance that the data got overwritten the tapes.

Unfortunately No TSM DB Backups available

We need you help to read from volume which currently become 'STGDELETE' in volhist.

How to reterive , archived data information from volumes in case TSM db not available ?

Thanks in advance for prompt and favorable response.

You will not like this answer, but you cannot retrieve data on a tape unless you have an older database backup from before the data expired.
