[Dump-users] Verifying backup: Missing files

[Kenneth P. <sh...@se...>]

I haven't looked closely at the restore code and am wondering if there's 
logic in the verify system (option -C) to detect that files on the disk 
didn't make it to the backup media? I expect the logic would need to load 
the directories from the tape, scan the tape for any missing files that 
were in the backup's directory list but missing when dump go to that file 
(this already seems to be there), and then iterate over the filesystem's 
directories to compare that to the directory structure recorded in the dump 
file.

No, there is no such logic.
