Tape List for deleted PG

Run into strange suitation - i had a PG that nologer necessary. Before i 
deleted the PG i thought i grab the screenshot of "View Tape List" of
the PG 
but for some reason capture screenshot did not work. Now i do not know which 
tapes were used for the deleted PG so that i can re-use the tapes  as i lost 
the printscreen. My question is, is there any other to retrive that 
information? PG gone and relicates delete - re-attach is not possible.

Note to DPM Moderator: It would be nice to let us print a "View Tape
List" 
for a PG than just right click to view in window.

Thanks

Did you choose 'Delete Data' while deleting the PG? In that case, tapes used 
by that PG will be automatically re-used by DPM.

Library Management page will show you the Tape Label (which will typically 
contain the PG name in it) associated with each tape. Trigger Detailed 
Inventory on library if you do not see the tape label. You can also try 
'View content' link on the Library Management page...This can list the 
contents of the tape and you can figure out which tapes were in used by the 
deleted PG.

Madhan,
I knew that part where DPM uses tapes that was once used by a no longer 
existing PGs [Free (Contains Data)]. Thats not the problem - problem is 
knowing which tapes were used by that deleted PG out of of 100s of tapes.  

The way you describe requires us to insert each tapes and do a quick 
inventory. Thats in not practical when you have 100s of tapes. 

We end us resorting to work around - we went through each PG and did "view

tapes list". then compare that list with our actual Tapes - any tapes that
is 
not on "View tapes list" we assumed belong to that deleted PGs.

Is there a way to print Tape List for a PG? I can view the list in UI but 
there is not print option. I know i could run a command shell but seems CS 
takes only one PG at a time.
