Find out which job used a tape

Post by newguise_ »

Is there a quick and easy way, either via the GUI or PowerShell CLI, to find out which job used a tape (or media set)? I can see the tapes in their media set in the VEEAM console, but have no idea which tape job they were used by. I'd like to find this out so that I can review the logs for this job.

Also can anyone please explain how media sets containing multiple tapes report their free space in the GUI? For example, I have a media set containing 4 LTO6 tapes, which all show 2.3 TB as their capacity. However, the free space shown is as follows:
Tape 1: 4.9 TB
Tape 2: 4.4 TB
Tape 3: 4.4 TB
Tape 4: 1.4 TB

What does this mean? The total free space reported across these 4 tapes far exceeds their capacity. The properties for each one show files.

Hello, this script should show you all files and jobs on all tapes.
