fbackup

[Jeff Hagstrom]

Looking thru the man pages I didn't see anything that would allow me to verify or list out what is on the tape. Is there a way and how?

hi,
frecover -I indexfile -f /dev/rmt/0m
will produce you an indexfile; i.e. list of all files in the backup
frecover -V volfile -f /dev/rmt/0m
will produce you a file with the volume header of the backup = backup date, etc.

regards,
Thierry.

Hi:

If you want to capture a complete record of 'fbackup' as it runs, do this:

# /usr/sbin/fbackup -f $FB_DEV -0 -u -v -g $FB_GRF -V $FB_VOL -c $FB_CNF > $FB_LOG 2>&1

where:

FB_DEV is your tape, e.g. /dev/rmt/om
FB_GRF is the name of your graph file
FB_VOL is the log for the tape volume header
FB_CNF is the configuration file (optional, but will improve performance if tuned)
FB_LOG is the verbose log of the session including warnings, errors, and files copied.

...JRF...
