Not sure if this will help but -
On Windows there is a folder that contains these tape errors -
You can also open / import these logs in to excel, and then sort by 
Tape number, errors etc...

Note:  That excessive open and write errors can be generated by incorrect
Tape drivers and the incorrect firmware - In our case we have resolved that 
Issue and now the only errors are 100% legit, Check you Windows even viewer
For errors: Check the HCL / firmare compatibility on
http://support.veritas.com/menu_ddProduct_NBUESVR.htm


<Installpath>:\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\media\errors

The error log goes back to the date of the initial install -
In our case all the way back to 2001 - Here is a sample of part
of our log

Is there a netbackup command that will list the number of read/write errors
for each tape?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Roland.
