All,

     TSM: Storage Management Server for AIX-RS/6000 - Version 4, Release 2,
Level 1.7
      OS: AIX 4.3.3 ML 9
Log Mode: RollForward
          (Upgrade project planned in near future, but that's another story)

Everyday I do a full backup of the database to 3590E tape, immediately
followed by a DBSNAPSHOT to a file on disk.  The 3590E tape promptly goes
offsite.  My question is if I experience a loss of the database can I then
restore from the DBSNAPSHOT and recover to the point of failure using the
RECOVERY LOG?  I would like to avoid the time delay of returning the 3590E
tape, containing the database backup, from the vault.

Anyone done this?

Thanks,
