Hi Trisno,
Do you want to check whether backup is completed or not?
Your question is not very clear.Can you please make it simple.What exactly you want to ask?

Still i will try to answer your question how much i understood.

1. Normally we used "I" option to create index file,which will be generated when backup is complete. If you tell fbackup to make an online index file (using the -I option), it will create the file after the backup is complete. Therefore, the only index that will be accurate is the online index, which is produced after the last volume has been written (the index created using the fbackup -I option). Also, fbackup assumes all files remaining to be backed up will fit on the current tape for the index contained on that media

Hi Trisno ,
Use frecover with "-N" option which will give you o/p which you want.

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
