Is there any way to check how much space a backup is using on a tape, and how much space I have left on the tape: This is on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Check your activity log. For each job you should have a summary at the end.
At the end you should have a row saying something like:
"Media Remaining Capacity" XXX MB/GB
This line shows how much free space there is on your media after a backup.
Please let me know if the post was helpfull for you

Please look at the end of your job in the Activity log and you will see something like this:20020824 000214 107 ** Summary for Job **
