Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve information from residual data (i.e retrieving data from the reinitialized volume – before writing any new data on those physical tracks)..?
If so, Is there any tool from IBM or ISV Vendors which is used for same..? |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Hopefully, there was a volume backup created before the volume was reinitialized. . .
Whether anything is salvagable may depend on how the volume was reinitialized. Suggest you ask the vendor of the dasd device and the vendor of the initialize utility used. |

Hi,
Actually.. Both Hardware and the Initialize Utility used are IBM's..
Just saw in File Aid/master tool, which recovers deleted members from PDS.. without any backup..
So thought there will be some option to recover whole volume with the help of some tools.. |

Hello,
There is almost no similarity between the contes of an entire volume and the contents of a pds.
When members of a pds are "deleted" or "replaced", the original data is still "there" until a compress of the pds is done.

There may be - but asking IBM would be the best way to get and answer for your specific situation. |
