This command gives you the media status and usage information by netbackup.

Install_Path/Netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -m <media_id>

Hi,

You can install OpsCenter which has tape drive utilization and throughput reports.

You can either check the media usage by using the command "bpmedialist" as suggested by Praveen or if you know that the media is in the library , the easiest way is to view through the Netbackup console.

Open netbakup console, expand media , then Robot, and check for the tape and the field Kilobytes would give you the amount of data written to the tape. The same can also be viewed in the Media tab.
