You can get a catalog of the tape, if you want to look at it:

        bprecover -l -ev TAPE001 -d dlt

You will get a report that says "Database Backup Information", which
includes the date
it was created, what server it was from, and the images on the tape, which
correspond to
the directories your database backup is backing up (e.g.,
/usr/openv/netbackup/db)

How does one determine if you have a good backup of the NB database?
