I do this:
----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#Check tape, and only run backup if successful
DUMP=HomeDumps
/usr/sbin/amcheck -w $DUMP
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
#retension tape
mt retension
#run backup for group
/usr/sbin/amdump $DUMP
#verify the tape
echo Verifying ${DUMP}
/usr/sbin/amverify $DUMP
else
echo Failed $DUMP
fi
----------------------------------------------------
Customise to suit...
