You can verify the existence of an archive copy 1 data set for each archive copy 2 data in the BSDS. When you select this option, you will get one of the following results:

An informational message number BMC80698I is given stating that the copies are synchronized. This means that there is an ARCHLOG1 data set that matches each ARCHLOG2 data set found in the BSDS.
One or more messages with the number BMC80688W are given listing each ARCHLOG2 data set for which there is no matching ARCHLOG1 data set.
