Re: Media Management Software?
reading and writing tapes is not an issue and can usually be done on OS level, but operating changer is an issue and OS can not handle it (although you can manage it from the front panel manually :o( ). To manage tapes inside library and operate tape changer you need to install 3rd party backup software: OnmiBack, Tapeware, BackupExec, Tivoli etc
Have a look at http://www.hp.com/products1/storage/products/archivalprod/sol_finder/index.html . Altough it's for MO devices it can give you an idea.
This one http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/ebs/ebstoolsbackupsizing.html looks better but I did not use it. You may try

Re: Media Management Software?
With HP OmniBack (Data protector) it is possible to track tape location (in library or not), allocation order, protection time and several other features.
Of course there is other programs, for example Legato Networker or Veritas Netbackup.

Re: Media Management Software?
The best way to manage even offsite tapes is through the backup management software. I use OmniBack (now called Data Protector) so I can't really speak for other products, but you can place information in it, in regards to locations and vaulting.
A simple report can be generated from OmniBack advising what media is expiring, when and where it is kept. You can view the product overview from here. http://www.openview.hp.com/products/dataprotector/index.asp
