You should be fine if your stgpool REUsedelay is reasonable and hasn't
been subverted by manual volume deletion and subsequent re-use of those
volumes.  There isn't a lot of visual checking you can do, given that
the TSM db holds the majority of stats on volume usage.  If you have
an image of your volumehistory.backup file from shortly before the
restoral time, that would be one thing to eyeball.  Other than that you
can do spot restorals/retrievals and see if any anomalies.
