What does
 $ df /altroot
tell you, in particular, which mount point is it reporting?
"Mounted on /" or "Mounted on /altroot"?

df /altroot shows: "Mounted on /"

(df -h doesn't show /altroot.)

So i cannot browse the content of /altroot, even though the backup
files are there?



if your altroot slice is not mounted, /altroot is just some empty dir, as expected. if you want to see what is on there, you have to mount it first, like any other filesystem.

mount it, have a look and don't forget to unmount it again.
this is best done, when you are sure, that daily will not run while you have it mounted.
