I think I'll believe that when I can do:
[get a list of all computers that have tape drives] | [get-tape-label]
from Powershell against any of the many proprietary backup programs Windows users are faced with....
Will companies like CA, Seagate, GFI, and others rally 'round this object model and help us get our work done *without* using their stupid GUI applications?
I have my doubts, but go 'head, keep on truckin'.

You're in luck.
We use http://www.veeam.com/ for VMWare backups. Works like a charm.
I have no idea how it works with tapes (I've not seen one for more than 10 years), but it can certainly list the targets for backups with a simple command.
So now please show me how to do this in Bash. For DriveXML working inside a VMWare virtual machine.
