How to ensure mksysb backup completed successfully.
Hi All,

I want to know, how we can ensure that mksysb backup completed successfully and is restorable.

I know one way my command lsmksysb -B but I found that one mksysb who has not backedup all the files was also showing in this command output, so that doesn't ensure its integrity and restoration assurance.

Is there any other way by which I can ensure my mksysb will restore the system in case of disaster.
