Storage Changer /dev/autochanger1:2 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 23 Loaded):VolumeTag = A00135
Data Transfer Element 1:Empty
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A00023
Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A00028
Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A00132
Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A00072
