The following commands can be used to list information about the Backup Database:
bak verifydb
Checks the status of the Backup Database
bak lsftfamilies
Lists fileset families and fileset family entries
bak lsdumps
Lists the entries in the dump hierarchy
bak dumpinfo
Displays information about specific backups
bak lshosts
Lists Tape Coordinator IDs
bak ftinfo
Displays the dump history for a fileset
In addition to the preceding commands, which display information from the Backup Database, the bak scantape command reads a tape, extracting its tape label and information from the fileset header of each fileset on the tape. This command can detect damage to a tape that makes filesets incomplete; if it encounters damage, the scan aborts. All of the commands in the following topics, like all bak commands, require that you be included in the admin.bak administrative list.
