Re: Recovering files from destroyed tape

Yes. I recommend you do a Query Content (stand back its a lotta data!!)
to disk or the following select command
select distinct node_name,copy_type,filespace_name from volumeusage
where volume_name='YOURVOLID' order by node_name
to cut down on the number of lines you may want to use only distinct and
node_name or if Ihave it wrong say distinct node_name,distinct
filespace_name and leave out the copy_type.
Or you may want more granularity by getting a list of all the files
but I can't find that one just now.
and THEN do a delete vol xxx discardd=yes
sad but try you have to delete the missing data before it will attempt to
back it up again.
