This is not supported but it could work.

Assuming your files still reside on your tapes(?).
Consult volume history to find out whether tapes where your data might be
has not been reused since 1/27.

The critical point is not to lose the current state,
so be sure to have working backup of DB and volhist and config,
and, 
after having restored the 1/27 DB,
 disable sessions 
 set all storage pools to readonly,
 enable sessions and do the restore.
Then restore of latest DB.

It is much work and still some risk,
check whether it is worth the results.

If you have never performed restore DB previously 
get some help from anybody knowledgable or read 
administrator manuals slowly prior starting.

Jus my 2 cents - maybe I forgot something..

Betreff: Restore db - forward in time?


Does anyone know can I restore my TSM database "back" to 1/27 to get some
files - then restore the database "forward" to a current db backup (1/29) so
that I don't lose 2 days worth of backups?

Thanks;
Theresa
