Viewing Tape Usage

When you write data to a tape, you can view the amount of data stored on the tape in the Storage Gateway console. The Details tab for each tape shows the tape usage information.

To view the amount of data stored on a tape

  1. Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Tape Library > Tapes to see your tapes. By default, this list displays up to 1,000 tapes at a time, but the searches that you perform apply to all of your tapes. You can use the search bar to find tapes that match a specific criteria, or to reduce the list to less than 1,000 tapes. When your list contains 1,000 tapes or fewer, you can then sort your tapes in ascending or descending order by various properties.

  3. Choose the tape you are interested in.

  4. The page that appears provides various details and information about the tape, including the following:

    • Size: The total capacity of the selected tape.

    • Used: The size of data written to the tape by your backup application.

      Note

      This value is not available for tapes created before May 13, 2015.
