You can mount the image and check if everything is ok in the image
For example, if you want to check image file /mnt/kmxbibr/kmxbibr_xbian_image_2019-02-19.img,

run commands to inspect backup image (Click to View)

root@kmxbilr2 /mnt/kmxbibr # sudo modprobe loop
root@kmxbilr2 /mnt/kmxbibr # sudo kpartx -av kmxbibr_xbian_image_2019-02-19.img
add map loop0p1 (253:0): 0 204800 linear 7:0 2048
add map loop0p2 (253:1): 0 3997696 linear 7:0 206848
root@kmxbilr2 /mnt/kmxbibr # ls -la /dev/mapper

Quote:I have amended my /etc/default/xbian-snap to exclude the directory containing my media with "EXCLUDESUB=/media" and I can see that snapshots are being run correctly however I just wanted to check that they were still running correctly and to see what folders/files were in the backups?

You never can exclude folders, you just can exclude subvolumes only for snapshots, not for image backup. Does not make sense to make an image backup without all existing subvolumes
