Tape Management Question

I like to amend to a tape until its full. When I erase and relabel an old tape the statistics shows the amount used for the lifetime of the tape. While that is useful info,
I need to know how full the tape is getting after each amended backup. I know that under the "Jobs" tab, the total bytes written for the job is posted, but I shouldn't have to manually add up each job to get a total on the tape.
Is there an easier way to monitor the tape usage when amending nightly to a tape?
