But if there isn't that kind of feature to expect in the backup job, this propably could be done with a "home-made" run after job script, that would be run after a full backup. It should require only sql queries to the catalog to compare two last full backups, and especially the checksums of the files with equal paths/names and write times.
The script would have no need to modify anything in the catalog, just read it, and write a report of possibly found differences. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
