Trusting the results of a backup

Hi *SM'ers
   the following lines from the Activity-Log ( Q ACTL begint=03:00 s=rzis3 )
show the backing up of a CMS-Database (C_ontent M_anagement S_ystem). The
latter one is backed up in a "SHUTDOWN"-state, i.e. the Database is NOT
running.
   The biggest piece of the "/opt/oracle"-directory
                rzis3:/opt/oracle # du -ks .
                20287424  .
   has a size of ca. 11GB

IDLETIMEOUT is the default 15 MIN ( not set in dsmserv.opt )

My questions are:
1.      What causes the session 292560 to timeout after 15 mins?

2.      Are the "relicts" of session 292560 the starting base for the
        next session 292567 ( starting at 03:36) and ending with the
        expected results together with the initial session 292560 ?

3.      Are the final results shown in the activity-log TRUE and can I
        trust that the backup is REALLY OK ?
