13.5. Verifying a mksysb or savevg BackupNow that you have a backup on tape or disk, you may want to verify the contents of the backup. The most thorough test of a mksysb tape is to actually do a restore, but you can get an idea of the integrity of the tape by listing the contents of the archive. If it's a tape, make sure the tape is at the beginning first: # mt -f device rewind Next, use restore to list the contents of the tape or file: # restore -s4 -Tvf [no-rewind-device|filename] This shows you all the files that were backed up, the time and date that the backup was run, and how many files were backed up. |
