Identifying the tapes you need to make the recovery is more difficult without the reports. You can identify the data on your tapes by taking them to another System i® platform and using the Display Tape (DSPTAP) command to review the contents of each tape. You can manually develop a recovery plan with the information shown on the DSPTAP command. At this point, you should consider making a list that prioritizes the items you want BRMS to restore.
