Working with the media usage report
The Media Usage Report collects information on all media that have ever been in the library, including
media that is no longer in the library. Lifetime media usage metrics are associated with the cartridge

whenever the media is unloaded, and lists any associated errors.
When the log reaches maximum size, old information is deleted as new information is added.
To view the media usage report:
