Brandon,
Thanks for the info. I'm aware of disk and tape backups. I'm talking
about tape backups.
Still waiting for my SA to verify that the numbers reported in the media
column are actually tape numbers.
Thanks
Tom

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
