Summary :
I have done a Full backup to DSSU, but the DSSU filled up before the backup was complete - I got a status 129.
Will fragments of an incomplete backup be written to tape? Can I restore data from those fragments?

Details:
I see log entries similar to the following during the backup :
''begin writing backup id HOSTNAME_1372456801, copy 1, fragment 43, destination path /dssu' '2013-06-29 06:34:21.000 "
"successfully wrote backup id adsdev-dc-aus_1372456801, copy 1, fragment 42, 8193024 Kbytes at 8224.573 Kbytes/sec "
My DSSU highwater is 1%, so it's supposed to begin writing to tape ASAP, though technically I believe that it writes a file to tape only once the file is fully written to disk. I wrote about 44 of 8G fragments to the DSSU before it filled up. I guess about 345G to 457G. The FS I am concerned with is 41G. Is there a way to try to recover from an incomplete backup?
The fragments are no longer on the DSSU.
I don't backup the DSSU when I backup the media server.
