Re: How to verify an ignite tape
This can be done on a similar or test server.
In practice, I have found that if you check the log files and make sure there are no errors, then the Ignite tape has always worked for me when it was needed.

Re: How to verify an ignite tape
then use tar to check the contents
tar -t
But the absolutely definitive way, as Steve said, is to boot off it and restore.

Re: How to verify an ignite tape
When we apply changes we ususally take 2 copies.
We also have 2 copies offsite.
Never trust the one tape !

Re: How to verify an ignite tape
I am doing a tar tvf /dev/rmt/0mn now to verify tar.
You are right. Only way to know for sure is to restore!
