Analyzing TapeAssure data from CSV files using the TapeAssure Analysis Template
The TapeAssure Analysis Template uses data exported from Command View TL to create graphs
and tables that help backup administrators answer important questions about drive and media
health, performance, and utilization. Over thirty pre-defined graphs and tables display write and
read margin, host and native data transfer rates, megabytes read and written, write and read
compression ratios, drive unloads, drive utilization percentages, and media capacity. These metrics
can be analyzed by drive, by tape, and over time—by day, week, day of week, month, or week
of year—to satisfy a variety of user needs.
NOTE:
The only file opened and operated on by the Template is a user-selected Tickets.csv file.
No other information is gathered, and no changes are made to your computer, registry, or Office
settings.
