fbackup tape verification

[Timothy P. Jackson]

hello everyone,

I am looking for a way to verify that a tape is physically good after doing an fbackup. I realize that the only way to totally ensure that the data on the tape is good, is to recover it to disk but all I want to do is verify that the physical tape is good.

I saw once in the forums the correct command and options to just verify the tape, but I cannot seem to find it now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Tim
