Use amverify. See the man page. If you use tar to do the backups,
amverify tests very thoroughly:
---snip from a previous posting
amverify will only check a DUMP image if it was created on a
similar system as that on which you run amverify. Even then, restore
will only check the dump header. tar, OTOH, will go over the whole
tar image.
---snip
But this tests whether the files really made it to tape and are readable
and not damaged, not whether they are exact copies of their counterparts
on the disk. If your motive is to make sure that the backups are O.K.,
then amverify is your friend. Comparing CRCs may not check the whole
image, but only the length of its files.
