storeBackupls.pl gives you information about the age and deletion rules of a backup series.
storeBackupls.pl -f configFile [--print] [storeBackup-dir] storeBackupls.pl [-v] [--print] storeBackup-dir
There are two possible styles to call it (with examples):

You see that backup number 35 was not finished. Using option verbose results in:
# /opt/test/storeBackup/bin/storeBackupls.pl -v . . . . 37 Tue Aug 26 2008 2008.08.26_13.07.08 -8 version -> 1.3 date -> 2008.08.26 13.07.08 sourceDir -> '/backup' followLinks -> 1 compress -> 'bzip2' uncompress -> 'bzip2' '-d' postfix -> '.bz2' exceptSuffix -> '.bz2' '.gif' '.gpg' '.gz' '.jpg' '.mp3' '.mpeg' '.mpg' '.ogg' '.png' '.tgz' '.tif' '.tiff' '.zip' exceptDirs -> '/backup/home_hjc/nosave' includeDirs -> exceptRule -> '$file =~ /acronis.*tib/' 'or' '$file =~ m#/te?mp/#' 'or' '$file =~ m#/\.thumbnails/#' includeRule -> exceptTypes -> preservePerms -> yes lateLinks -> yes lateCompress -> no cpIsGnu -> yes
Only the output for the last backup is shown here. You can see which options of storeBackup.pl where used to generate the backup.
storeBackupls.pl -f configFile [--print] [storeBackup-dir] or
storeBackupls.pl --file configFile [--print] [storeBackup-dir]
Here it will read the configuration file of storeBackup.pl and tells something about the deletion status of each backup:
