What functions are you specifically looking for?  BE will manage your tapes for you when you put them in media sets with the appropriate OPP and AP.

...you can also pull a report using BE's reporting functionality that will show you what tapes belong in which media sets...this will do away with Excel at the end of the day too!

I am looking for something that can help me to manage the tapes because I have more than 5 bkp servers running in different branches, so in this "software" I would organize the tapes by for example: Monthys server1, daily server1 and 2 , etc...

...then as pkh states, BE will manage the tapes physically and logically and as per my post, BE's reporting function will let you know what tapes belong to what media set. You'd do this on a per server basis, or if you have a CASO, from the CASO server itself.

You can then physically separate the tapes in a safe/cupboard etc. on each site/per server.

You would need to setup the correct media sets to contain your tapes.  For example, you can have media sets called Server1, Server2, etc. to keep the media for each server.
