On the TSM Server, only in the BACKUPS table would you possibly be able to
find this information (providing the object hasn't already expired due to
relevant retention parameters) - generally (and there are caveats), an
INACTIVE object's DEACTIVATE_DATE will record when the object went from
being ACTIVE to INACTIVE (i.e. modified or deleted).

However, I'd always go with Wanda's suggestion first - much less onerous all
around to check out the client's dsmsched.log if it's available.

I mean on the server side... is there somewhere where the delete is first
recorded?
