Viewing the Media Usage Log
The Media usage report lists information regarding data written and read
on the media and lists statistics pertaining to soft and hard read and write
errors.The media usage log collects information on all media that have
ever been in the library, including media that are no longer in the library.

kept on the embedded cartridge memory. The log reflects what the drive
reports from the embedded cartridge memory whenever the media is
unloaded. If the tape cartridge was never mounted and unloaded, it will
not appear in the log. When the log file reaches its maximum size, old
information is deleted as new information is added. This may affect the
amount of available historical data.
