I’ve looked at the job logs and they don’t specify the exact files that were backed up.  A file to tape jobs lists the equivalent of “5 folders and 3 files backed up”.  And I cannot seem to run a report of the contents of tapes, I instead have to right click on tapes in the media pools and view it there.

 

Would you have any recommendations?

If you use VONE then you can run a report to show what is on tape otherwise the way your doing it is the way from the console.


@SteveHeartwrote a script that lists the Veeam Backup files stored in tape. I haven't tried it for File to Tape but maybe it can also be used to list those files?

Did they finally make a VeeamONE report that does this? For many years I remember having to go to th gui to right click on the tape to get the file names. Then there was someone who I think used a script in the sql even. 

I will also checkout that script too. Funny thing is that I don’t need it now as I don’t have a tape drive but want to try with a test VTL at least for fun :)

I am positive I saw a report but could be mistaken still on vacation so will look when back.  That script should work too.


Its confusing I agree. Right now they list these:

But I don’t think there is one that actually lists the files.
