Hi,
Can someone please explain how I can check whether my files were backed-up to tape.
I issued this command and got an error:-
# frecover -I /tmp/mth -f /dev/rmt/5m
frecover(2105): did not find expected file marker
frecover(5409): unable to read volume header
frecover(5418): not an fbackup volume; unable to read volume header
frecover(2105): did not find expected file marker
frecover(5412): Do you wish to try to salvage this volume? (^[nN]/^[yY]) n
frecover(5411): Do you wish to try a different volume? (^[nN]/^[yY]) n
frecover(5414): abort selected
I'm not sure what will happen if I say y to salvage the volume?
But in my backup logs, I got the message that the backup was successful ... so I am baffled.

Thanks,
P.S. I also tried to make sense of the frecover command in the man pages... but I found it a bit too heavy going!
