Have had that happen.  Reason is this is a dynamic system with
expirations and reclamations running.  By the time you got back the
tapes requested, the data on some of them was somewhere else
according to the TSM DB.  Run the "preview" again.  I've had
several out of about a dozen or so restores where I needed to make
a "second pass" to get everything.

Had this happen again yesterday.

server 4.2.1
platform solaris 8
storage 3590-b drives in ibm 3494 library.

Issued the "restore volume" with wait=yes and preview=yes
Captured activity log, but when I did the restoer, it called for two
other volumes.  I really don't think I missed it.

Anyone have an idea or a script for determining needed offsite volumes
for a restore?

Thanks for the help.
