Just run "q pro" to get the process id of the running backupset, then
"q actlog se=<process id>" , this should show you all the tapes the backupset process has mounted..

a bit messy but the best I can think of

Cheers

but is there a way to see which tapes a backupset process will use? I have lots of tapes outside of a library and if I miss a tape request, backupset process fails, which costs me valuable time.

Hi,

An another solution, sql request :
Select volume_name from volhistory where type='BACKUPSET'

You probably think something like "preview=yes"?
I think it can't be used with generate backupset command... closest to desired result is query nodedata, I think...

yes, I'm looking to see a list before the requests actually happen... q nodedata would help, but there's no guarantee that all tapes have active data; nonetheless it seems the best I got thanks Mita.
