Viewing the backup log for volume group and system backups

You can view the backup log that is created each time a volume group is backed up. The log file contains information on previous volume group and system backups.

You can use the lsmksysb command or the lssavevg command with the -B option to view the backup log file. Type:
# lsmksysb -B
Output similar to the following displays:
#Device;Command;Date;Shrink Size;Full Size;Maintenance Level
