Hi Guys,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have been able to recover what I required from
the oldest available backup however I wanted to know if it's possible to backup
the recovery storage group that was created for this purpose. I can see in
Exchange the mailbox DB's and the RSG but I cannot see the RSG for backup
selection.
I went as far as dismounting the RSG and tried backing it up via the BA client
but that didn't work either.

Just to tack onto Del's comments....
Do "select * from backups where node_name='NODENAME' ", redirecting to an
output file. (NODENAME is the name of the TDP node, all upper case). Do any
backup versions appear that are from the desired recovery timeframe? If no, and
if you do not have database backups that go back to a point in time before the
data was expired, then the likelihood of being able to recover the data
decreases. It also makes it a lot harder to identify the volumes where the
backup data last resided.
If the backup data resides on random access pools then there is a good chance
the data has already been overwritten, assuming the pools are used daily for
other backup activity.
If the backup data resides on sequential access pool (primary or copy pool)
then as long as the media has not been reused, it *might* be possible to
salvage data. If the REUSEDELAY on the volumes is less than the number of days
that have transpired since the rebinding, the likelihood of being able to
recover the data decreases further. (Again, depends on whether the volumes have
been overwritten.)
If the backup data exists on the storage media (tapes have not been returned to
scratch or overwritten) then it *might* be possible to salvage the data with
the assistance of IBM. As Del suggested, you can open a PMR and support can
help you assess whether any data is recoverable or salvageable.
Regards,
- Andy
