Getting tape wear property

[joespirit88]

Hi,

We have tapes that go through weekly rotations and after a few uses we move them to our monthly long term storage pool.

I am looking to automate the migration between pools from weekly to monthly and would like to do it based on the number of writes the tape has had.

Ideally we want to have a tape do a few runs before it goes into long term storage, rather than a use once scenario.

From properties in the veeam console I can see the wear of the tape read/write cycles but i can't seem to find this as a property in powershell.

Has anyone seen this or is it just not available in powershell?

Thanks

VBRTapeMedium currently does not have this property available. But thank you for the feedback; your feature request has been noted. Thanks!

Thanks, i seen it was a newer feature so i assumed it hadn't been added yet.
I do think it would be useful in future for generating reports etc.

We're also thinking the same, so, we've filled this as a feature request for future product versions. Thanks!
