The backup status can be checked with "11.2.2.14 acmexecstat (Execution status display command)" or "11.2.2.9 acmhistdisp (History information display command)".
You can check the following with the execution status display command:
Status of physical copy of backup to a disk
Status of writing backup data to a tape
In backup to tape, the execution status display command does not display information on whether writing to tape is complete or terminated with an error. "11.2.2.9 acmhistdisp (History information display command)" must be used to check whether a backup history has been created.
When backup is performed to tape only, or to both a disk and tape, you can check whether the backup to tape is complete as follows:
Perform "11.2.2.14 acmexecstat (Execution status display command)" to check the execution status of backup to tape. Backup to tape is not complete while [TapeExecute] is [Writing]. When [TapeExecute] is [----], backup to tape is complete, so perform the following to check a backup history.
Execute "11.2.2.9 acmhistdisp (History information display command)" to check whether a backup history has been created. If a tape backup history has been created, a relative generation number is displayed at [Tape-Gen]. If [idle] is displayed in step 1 for the relevant backup and a hyphen "-" is displayed at [Tape-Gen] as a result of this command, the attempt to back up data to tape terminated with an error. The error cause is indicated on the standard error output of the backup command.
