Hello Guys,

I am testing some backup scripts on a dlt library and trying to run manual backups.

mc -p /dev/dltrobotics -s S15 -d D1
backup -f /dev/rmt/4m -i /prod1 -v

Is there any easy way (other than keeping track of files being copied to tape) to find out space left on the tape(uncompressed/compressed)?

I am using a Maxell DLT IV 40/70 tape on a HP DLT 7000.

Thanks
Mandar
