Dear Aussie,

For logging, errors you can use this at the end of your tar command. " > tar.status.log 2> tar.error.log" this will capture all error messages

If you are writing to tape, You can also use the "tar -t /dev/rmt/0mn > filename "option to print out the table of the files on a tape. If you just want the names of what went to the tape after the backup completes. To compare to what should have been backed up. Also, you can create a file to use as a template for what should be backed up.

Your syntax may differ.

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination] DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des- tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro- duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape. The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example, example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b ATTRIBUTES
