Howdy, I was looking for any advice on how to recover from a situation where a
tape gets damaged and contains active backup data. Is there anyway to have ADSM
automatically request that data be sent by the client again? If you don't have
stgpool copying enabled or have the rare occurence whereby your primary and copy
tape are damaged...what can you do? Is running a selective or another full
(mode=absolute) the only way? Someone mentioned before that if you update the
volume to access=destroyed, then ADSM will request the files be backed up again.
But that didn't seem to work. The environment is ADSM V3.1.2.0 server on NT 4
SP5 and ADSM clients at V3.1.0.8.
