Kevin,

Do you mean that the TSM Server only contains versions that have
the corrupted data in them? Does that include the FULL backups too?

By "rolled" off... if you mean that it is no longer in the
TSM Server database repository... then you would need to restore
a backup of the TSM Server at a point in time that it contained
the data you are interested in restoring. If you don't have that,
then you are talking about a "salvage" situation.

If this is vital data... I would place a call with IBM service
immediately before the data on the tapes is gone as well.

Thanks,

Del
