Just beware - the information from the media column will be useless if your
backup is going to a disk staging area before it goes to tape, and it also
won't tell you if your backup spanned multiple tapes, or if it was migrated
later to a different tape from the original by your media management software.
It's really just there for looks - it can't be relied on.
What is the retention on your backups? Maybe it's only 14 days and 1/29 is
still within that policy, but 1/27 is not?
If you were on Netbackup, I'd recommend using the bplist and/or bpclimagelist
commands to search the Netbackup catalog directly for your backups, but I don't
know what the equivalent is for TSM.
Good luck,
Brandon
