Is there any way to tell how much of a tape I am really using? For example I have both AIT1 and AIT2 drives and I using 170M and 230M tapes respectively. I write to the compressed device in both cases. I set the lengths conservatively to 32000 mbytes for the AIT1 drives and 66000 mbytes for the AIT2 drives. I would like to check periodically and see how much of the tape I am actually using. Full backups are already over 100 GB and disk usage is only going up so a reasonably good estimate of actual usage tells me how much I can increase the length values before allocating another tape to the backups.
