Verification of a savevg backup

[ranjit]

Is it possible to verify the contents of a savevg backup? I'm not sure what the tape format of such a backup is. Is there an equivalent procedure for a mksysb verification:

# tctl -f /dev/rmt0 rewind
# tctl -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 3
# restore -Tvf /dev/rmt0.1

Please outline such a procedure if it exists,
Thanks

Although I haven't used it, listing files ( i.e. almost verifying ) from a savevg backup should be the same as for a mksysb - the restore command is used for this.
