What specific information are you looking for? 

For instance, here's a thread on the symantec forums where someone asked
a similar question and I posted a slightly obnoxious (but apparently
working) perl "one-liner" to print some information from a list of
tapes. 

It could be expanded (and clarified) if needed.

I had a later thought that the script could poll the volume database for
the assigned time and the last write time, so it would only have to scan
the image database across those times.  So that's a future optimization
if this one is just hideously slow on your catalog.

# bpimagelist -d <earliest date> -l | perl -lane 'BEGIN {for(`cat 
/tmp/ck_tapes`){chomp;$t{$_}=1}} if (/^IMAGE/) 
{$client=$F[1];$policy=$F[6];$date=$F[13]} elsif (/^FRAG/) {next unless 
exists($t{$F[8]}); push @{$i{$F[8]}}, [$client, $policy, $date]; } END 
{while(($tape, $info)=each %i) {print "$tape:"; for(@{$info}) {print "@$_";}}}'
