Unwind it and use a virtual measurement tape to check... <pun intended> ;-D ;-D No, seriously, what type of tape do you have? Reels, cartridge? optical? Type of media/vendor? Are you using encryption/compression? Do you stack data on your media? AFAIK, IBM did published a list of MB per media type, but I don't have any docs for that, now I'm not working with it anymore. Victor, your subject 'measure usage' is not same as 'space used' in text above. Which of the two do you want?
