VMS Help BACKUP Command, Qualifiers, /LIST  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /LIST[=file-spec]

    Command Qualifier

    Lists information about a BACKUP save set and about the files in
    a save set. You can display the list on your terminal or write it
    to a file.

    You can use this qualifier with any operation (save, restore,
    copy, compare, or journal). If specify /LIST by itself (not in
    conjunction with another operation), the input specifier must be
    a save set; you cannot specify an output specifier. You can use
    /LIST with either the /BRIEF or the /FULL command qualifiers. The
    default is /BRIEF.

    Do not use /LOG together with /LIST when the output for /LIST is
    directed to the terminal; you will receive confusing output.
