Anith,

frecover -rv -N -f /dev/rmt/?m

Should work.

Anith,
if you want to use the index at the beginning of the tap, rather than scan the whole tape you could try and use the -I option.

man frecover gives the details

Hello Anith

frecover is the recover option for files backed up by fbackup.

frecover -Nv should give you the details

As in man page
-N (no recovery) Prevent frecover from actually recovering any files onto disk, but read the backup as if it was, in fact, recovering the data from the backup, producing the same output that it would on a normal recovery. This option is useful for verifying backup media contents in terms of validity (block checksum errors are reported), and contents (a listing of files can be produced by using the -N and -v options together). Note that the listing of files produced with the -N and -v options requires the reading of the entire backup, but is therefore a more accurate reflection of the backup's contents than the index stored at the beginning of the backup (which was created at the start of the backup session, and is not changed during the course of the backup).
