Index Engines machines can do this. While they can't recover all of the
metadata (which TSM mostly stores in its database) they can recover the
data itself from a TSM backup tape. You will lose some information such
as file names and owner nodenames, but you can get the data. We use
Index Engines. Go to www.indexengines.com and click on "Partners and
Resources" for companies that can do this as a service.
