Hey Again
Thanks for the input. but what I am wanting to check for is CRC
errors and block errors. The backups are written to tape and I would
like a way to verify the data on the tape as compared to the data on the
server. I may be way off here but I just want to be sure I am getting
reliable backups.
Thanks

All I can think of is a platter of organic PRUNE CRISPS being trampled
