Re: Tape Backup
will display the status of your tape and if a tape is mounted in the drive.
Man 1 mt for details.
Of course, this will tell you nothing about the actual backup itself. You would have to read the tape back for that.

Re: Tape Backup
# mt -f /dev/rmt/2m status
Drive: HP C1537A
Format: DDS-1 format
Status: [41111300] BOT online compression immediate-report-mode
File: 0
Block: 0
And here is the same drive but empty:
# mt -f /dev/rmt/2m status
Drive: HP C1537A
Format:
Status: [0]
File: 0
Block: 0
In both cases mt returned a zero exit code meaning success but the most important line is the "Status: " line. If you see [0] it indicates that the drive can be detected but that it is empty.
