Where can I see the tape compression ratio and more tape infomation?

Post by Kazuha »

Hi there,

Can I see each tape's detailed infomation in the media section, like amount of data on the tape(real, uncompressed), used tape space(physically, compressed), compression ratio, tape lifetime data read/written count...

Hello,

You may try this view for usage statistics and capacity. This view allows you to see data on tape. Please let us know if some info is missing in any of these views.

Thanks!

Hi Petr!

I can only see capacity and r/w cycles in this view.
I can't see compression ratio or read/written count in precisely MEGABYTES

Is the used tape capacity in this view the compressed capacity? Where can I find the original data amount(real, uncompressed) on the tape?

Thanks!

Kazuha,

Veeam B&R does not provide the tape library compression metrics. Please check native vendor's tools or library/drive utilities, if there is a place to get this information - vendor's software is a way to go. Thank you!
