The TL_* files in /usr/afs/backup (on the machine where butc's are running)  
show what volumes have been dumped.  We don't use them for anything; we just  
noticed that they are there, and they contain probably just what you are  
looking for.

You'd either have to parse the files looking for the right dates, or make sure  
they're empty when you start the backup.  We're thinking of using these files  
for additional backup databse information.
