hi,
how are you backing up your data ?
what type of DDS tape drive have you got ?
what filesystems are you backing up ?
if you used a block size to back up your data you can use the dd command and bs=(block size ) to determine how man blocks have benn written to tape
e.g. if block size is 64k
dd if=/dev/rmt/0m? of=/dev/null bs=64k
