As others have said, the best way is to recover the old server (assuming
you can get the hardware).

IBM do offer a recovery service (I've used it), assuming the tapes have not
been overwritten, I'd expect you to get everything back.

It's not cheap though and I'm pretty sure you'll need a server and drive
the same as the original TSM server, along with plenty of disk space.

There is also an open source version of the same thing - but I've never
tried it.
