how to check whether the tape has successfully backup the files after using the command "fackbup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -i"

Thanks

frecover -vf /dev/rmt/0m -I /tmp/index

This will load the tape's index, or table of contents, into the /tmp/index file for reading afterwords.

tail -f /tmp/index

In a script..

fackbup -vf /dev/rmt/0m -i
rc=$?

...

If the value in rc is zero the backup was a success.

If the value in rc is non-zero some kind of error occurred.

Use frefcover with the -N option, this does everything that a full recover would do EXCEPT write it to the disc.
man frecover

Hi,

According the manpages, please create the directory : /var/adm/fbackupfiles/

fbackup will store errors in this directory when creating incrementals, it also might be logging something using fulls.
It's worth a try.

P.S. : Please also award your previous helpers with assigning points.
