[Feature Request] List Media Set in job action list

Post by G_Mellor »

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but it would be nice if the job action list showed the Media Set that's being used for the tape job, something like this:
10:00:39 PM Job started at 7/10/2024 10:00:24 PM
10:00:40 PM Processing tasks
6:59:03 AM Total backup job size: 7 files (8 TB)
7:00:00 AM Using media set: Monthly Media set 7/10/2024 10:02 PM
I'm currently archiving many old repositories to tape, and it would be convenient if the Media Set was listed here. My current process is to either check a tape that was used for the job and then check what media set was used by that tape, or through sorting tapes by the last written column and checking the tape Properties / Files list to confirm it's the job I'm looking for.

Cheers.

Hi Gary,

Quick question, would checking the HTML report by right-clicking the job and selecting "Report" help with your goal here?

The HTML report includes the tapes used by a given tape backup session as well as the media sets:

Hi David,

I hadn't spotted that method - thanks for the tip. It's easier than what I've been doing so far, but not quite as easy as if it was in the job action list.

I'll give your method a go and see how I get on. Cheers!
