Re: fbackup

There are two ways to do this:

1. frecover -I - -f /dev/rmt/0m
which lists the table of contents for the entire tape. This takes just a few seconds.

2. frecover -rvmN -f /dev/rmt/0m
which reads the entire tape and verifies the internal frecover checksums. This requires reading all of the tape and may take hours to complete.

Shalom,

reading the fbackup tape creates a file called /var/tmp/index

Which you can copy off and look at after the read.

Re: fbackup

frecover -I /tmp/filelist -f /dev/rmt/0m

It will create a file called filelist in /tmp dir. You can more or grep the file

more /tmp/filelist
grep syslog /tmp/filelist
