    Hi,
    There are many ways that enables possibilities.
    For instance the dsmerror.log file on the client, which reports the backed up content.
    The backup table
    > SELECT * FROM backups WHERE node_name='THENODE'

    I think one can also use:
    dsmc q backup -fromdate=12/11/2003
    or similar to view what files has been changed.
    Perhaps also possible to limit with -todate flag

    If one uses SPFS, and mount the IBM Spectrum Protect as a filesystem, than a normal:
    # ls -l
    Will show the changes

    As the IBM Spectrum Protect storage is a mounted using:
    # mount -t spfs /backup
