Ah - windows.  

Nope - I'm no help with that.

It's, no doubt, a fairly simple PERL script but my handling of perl is
rather poor.

There's a problem to be surmounted in that tape usage expressed as a
percentage is difficult.  The drive compresses and you can never be sure how
much will fit on a tape, therefore it's hard to calculate a partial against
an uncertain full volume.

It's going to be a query against bpmedialist (for the on-tape data numbers)
and vmquery (for the pool info).

In general, though, you can maximize your tape usage within a pool by using
consistent retention periods (since tapes are segregated by retention) and
by using either low jobs-per-policy settings or high mpx-per-tape drive
settings (although this may have performance implications).

Mark,
We had buy the Netbackup Advanced Reporter but for the custom report need to

be done in perl!!!
I need to know the % of the tape usage of each tape. I mean in a Volume pool

I had 30 tapes all tape are allocated but they couldn't be full... So I want

to know their % of occupancy.
I had a perl script from a friend but it works on solaris not on windows if 
you want I could send it to you

txs
