backup queston

[Ragni Singh]

Hello everyone,

How do I verify what was just backed up onto a tape.

[Phil Daws_2]

How have you backed it up? tar,dd,fbackup,netbackup,omniback,backup express???

[Helen French]

hey,

it depends on which tool u r using for backup. for eg: if you use tar, then use 'tar -tvf device_name'

Each backup tool has it's listing utility/switches

HTH,
Shiju

Hi:

It depends upon the backup command used.
For example: if you backed up with cpio, then you do a cpio -ivt; for tar a tar -vt; for Omniback II, you can do a verify. We need a few more details.

[Ragni Singh]

I use fbackup to back data up.

Use the "-N" option on frecover.

[Wim Rombauts]

In that case, use frecover with the -N option.

Read the frecover manpage for more information on other options.

'frecover -N -v' option
