Causes BACKUP to compare the contents of the first parameter with the contents of the second parameter. The first parameter can be a Files-11 file, a wildcard character representing a group of files, a BACKUP save set, or a disk device. The second parameter must be a Files-11 disk file or files, or a Files-11 disk device. Unless you also specify the /PHYSICAL qualifier, the disk volume must be a Files-11 volume. If a file does not compare successfully, BACKUP displays an error message.
