[What (else) is new in v12 - IX] TAPE - GUI and PowerShell enhancements

Show current job for each drive

It is just a small improvement but very helpful in daily tape operations. In VBR v12 console you will see the tape job that is currently using a drive.

PowerShell news

We get some new PowerShell cmdlets with v12 (beta):

• Find-VBRTapeCatalogItem
• Find-VBRTapeCatalogItemVersion
• Find-VBRTapeCatalogueHost
• Get-VBRTapeBackupSession
• Get-VBRTapeCatalogueDirectory
• Get-VBRTapeCatalogueFile
• Get-VBRTapeMediumForSession
• Start-VBRTapeFileRestore

Unfortunately I did not manage to get much data out of these new cmdlets. Will have to wait for availability of command reference guide. Something I still miss, is the ability to get the content of tapes with PowerShell.
