How Full are these tapes?

[cglaser]

Does anyone know a good way to see how much full a specific tape is? Ideally, I would like a percentage or the number of GB/MB that images are taking up on a particular tape.
The reason that I am doing this is that I want to see how full some tapes are that we are sending off-site.
Sorry if this is an easy one...kinda new to netbackup.
Thanks - CG
