Examples
Example 1: Retrieve a list of tapes for a library
The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to get the library for the server, and then stores it in the $DpmLibrary variable.
The second command uses the Get-DPMTape cmdlet to return the list of tapes on Contoso-DPMServer.
PS C:\> $DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> Get-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
