You can verify a backup initiated by the dump command to ensure that all the files you wanted to back up are on the tape.
Steps
- From your client, preserve the output to the console by using a utility such as a script.
- List all the files in a backup by entering the following command:
restore tf rst0a
- Compare the list to what you intended to back up.
- For more detailed verification, use the N option of the restore command.
