Checking Free Space on Tape. Compressed or not?

I'm running Backup Exec 8.1 on a Windows 2000 Server and have AIT-2 50/100GB tapes in a Compaq AIT 50 drive. The Activity Monitor states that I've got 47.7GB backed up on my tape. I checked the option "use hardware compression if available". How do I check the tape to see how much room is left?

If the data is NOT being compressed, I'm guessing that I've got room to grow only 2.3 Gigs on my backup size. If it is being compressed I'm guessing that I have about 52.3 Gigs left? How can I tell for sure?
