Your screenshots are not clear enough to see anything.
In Reports section, you can use Media Written report and specify a start and end date.
Else, when you have a request to restore files for a client, use Backup Archive and Restore window, browse for client folders/files, then use the 'Media Preview' icon to see which tapes are needed for the restore.
You can also use cmd:
bpimagelist -d mm/dd/yyyy -e mm/dd/yyyy -media -U
or for specific client:
bpimagelist -client clientname -d mm/dd/yyyy -e mm/dd/yyyy -media -U
e.g. to find all tapes used for Dec month-end backups:
bpimagelist -d 12/31/2013 -e 01/01/2014 -media -U
(command is in ...\veritas\netbackup\bin\admincmd)
