I found this request "SELECT DiskPerTapeReadBytesPerSec, DiskPerTapeWriteBytesPerSec, Frequency_PerfTime, Name, Timestamp_PerfTime FROM Win32_PerfRawData_TapePerf_NetBackupDiskPerTape" on one of the old forums, but as far as I understand it does not work at this time.Having looked through all the documentation I did not find at the remembrance of thisI would like to understand how you get data about tape lib for example for veritas NetBacup OpsCenter.Whether is possible to get this information from command line? Thanks =)

You'll not find any command line to give you this information. You could look in the bptm logs for the performance but you'll need to do some scripting to pull out the drive and performance and then add it all up or average it or something.As for OpsCenter, I've not seen that table before. Can you check if there is anything in it allselect * from Win32_PerfRawData_TapePerf_NetBackupDiskPerTape

Why would you believe that bptm logging is outdated? Legacy does not mean outdated. It is simply the original logging method that is still in use.
