Short of actual recovery of backed up contents...What is the best method of=
 verifying DLT tape contents, that have been backed up using "vdump -0vf /d=
ev/tape/tape0"?

I've seen some commentary about the "/usr/field/tapex -m" command, and I cu=
rrently use "vrestore -tf /dev/tape/tape0" to verify contents(somewhat tedi=
ous).

Also, once I have the method, what is the best way to compare the output of=
 the tape contents to the actual fileset contents on the disk?
