Are you using tapes yet Stefan? If useing vtapes, that file would likely 
be visible by an ls on that tapes disk directory.

Using vtapes on a 2T spinning rust disk, and my wrapper script, I show 
for last nights run:

The pair of tar files are from my wrapper. The configuration.tar is the 
complete configuration that made the rest of that backup, and the 
indices.tar is the complete database, most importantly containing all 
the indice's from this backup, so I could do a bare metal on a new disk 
recovery to the status of my systems a/o around 3AM this morning.
