To know which tape(s) contains your DBBackup.
You can issue restore db preview=yes you are going to
get a listing of tapes but nothing will be restored.

You can also look at the volhist file, that is if you
did a backup volhist.

Its easier to issue restore dbbackup preview=yes to
know what tapes the data base backup is on.
