History of Clean tape jobs

I have BExec 2012.

I I perform a tape clean 1x/month. Recently, a job failed and said tape drive needed to be cleaned.

I looked at the statistics of the tape drive, and it said last clean date was 14 months ago!

Question:

Where can I see a 'history' of tape cleaning jobs proving it has been cleaned monthly?

    Are you using a robotic library or a stand-alone tape drive?

    Stand-alone tape drives do not have cleaning jobs, so there would be no log.

      Thank you for your reply. It is a stand-alone....so that would explain that.
