So ya wanna do a little omniback eh?
Omnidb -rpt -last gets you all yesterday's backup sessions.
What you will see here depends on how your shop decided to setup
backups. Filesystem is one way. Basically omniback backs you up mount
point by mount point. Host based is the other way. Backup the whole
machine in one "session". Sessions will look like 2003/07/31-1 and the
trailing digit will increment for sessions.
And now that you have your sessions
Omnidb -filesystem {your fqdn:/your-dir 'your label'} -session {from
previous command} -listdir {your-dir} gets you a list of files
Here's an example for this one:
Omnidb -filesystem mshpx.corp.fred.com:/d01 'prod-daily' -session
2003/01/16-3 -listdir /d01/prod would work if your daily backup was
called prod-daily and you wanted to look at a subdirectory named prod of
a mount point named /d01 you were backing up.
Omnidb -session {see above} -detail gets the list of filesystems backed
up
Omnidb -filesystem {see above} gets you the list of all sessions that
contain the filesystem
Omnidb -session {see above} -media shows the tapes in that session
Omnidb -session {see above} -report warning gets the whole list of
errors for that session
Omnidb -filesystem {see abov} -session {see above} -catalog shows ls -lR
listing of files
That 'your label' thing is easiest to get from xomni or the windows
variant. It will be basically whatever you decided to name your backup
'prod-daily' is one from our shop. Note the quotes are required. There
is quite a bit more to the omnidb command but if you are using the
filesystem method of backup this will get you enough to answer your
questions or perhaps script a solution that checks the backups against
the database (this is what we did). Nicely enough you don't even have to
be root to execute this command.
Actually you wont loose your ability to recover if you loose that db.
You could import the tapes, but you really, really wouldn't want to
unless you have an exceptionally boring life. A good backup scheme will
backup the omnidb daily too.

Without a platform, version or other info, it's hard to say. On an
HP/UX 11.0 machine running Omniback II vA.04.10, at least, you can look
thru "man omniintro" to find the location of log files. However, those
logs don't generally contain what was backed up. That's stored in the
Omniback database. You really need to RTFM before messing with this
stuff. You lose your recovery if you lose that DB.
"xomni" has a GUI with a friendlier interface than most of the
command-line utils.
