A quick way, but not a true verify, is the list out the contents to a file:
tar tvf /dev/[tape drive name] > /log/tpbkup.log where you replace the [tape drive name] with the correct name of your tape drive. Usually '/dev/rStp0' Also, tar has "fallen" out of popularity since it does not have a true verify method of the data. For this reason, we have been "looking" for better backup systems with data verification and system recovery tools. Two of these are "Lone Tar" and "BackupEDGE." These are in the category of "super tar" backup systems for they backup the device files, provide a true data verification and system recovery (butt saver when hard drive crashes.)
