The xfsdump inventory is maintained in the directory /var/xfsdump created by xfsdump. You can view the dump inventory at any time with the xfsdump -I command. With no other arguments, xfsdump -I displays the entire dump inventory. (The xfsdump -I command does not require root privileges.)
The following output presents a section of a dump inventory.
# xfsdump -I | more

Notice that the dump inventory records are presented sequentially and are indented to illustrate the hierarchical order of the dump information. You can view a subset of the dump inventory by specifying the level of depth (1, 2, or 3) that you want to view. For example, specifying depth=2 filters out a lot of the specific dump information as you can see by comparing the previous output with this:
# xfsdump -I depth=2
file system 0:
fs id: d23cb450-b21d-1001-8f97-080069068eeb

You can also view a filesystem-specific inventory by specifying the filesystem mount point with the mnt option. The following output shows an example of a dump inventory display in which the depth is set to 1, and only a single filesystem is displayed:
# xfsdump -I depth=1,mnt=magnolia.abc.xyz.com:/test
filesystem 0:
fs id: d23cb450-b21d-1001-8f97-080069068eeb
Note that you can also look at a list of contents on the dump media itself by using the -t option with xfsrestore. (The xfsrestore utility is discussed in detail in the following section.) For example, to list the contents of the dump tape currently in the local tape drive, type:
# xfsrestore -f /dev/tape -t -v silent | more xfsrestore: dump session found xfsrestore: session label: "week_1" xfsrestore: session id: d23cbcb4-b21d-1001-8f97-080069068eeb xfsrestore: no media label xfsrestore: media id: d23cbcb5-b21d-1001-8f97-080069068eeb do you want to select this dump?
