I want to know, how we can ensure that mksysb backup completed successfully and is restorable.
I know one way my command lsmksysb -B but I found that one mksysb who has not backedup all the files was also showing in this command output, so that doesn't ensure its integrity and restoration assurance.
Is there any other way by which I can ensure my mksysb will restore the system in case of disaster.
You can check it's return code in $?. Also read the log mksysb produces.
The last proof is to restore it.
Maybe one of the given things is sufficient for you instead to really test the mksysb restore.

Btw: Often there is just unimportant temporary files etc. that are not backed up - check the logs to make sure.
