This example retrieves a list of tapes for a library in DPM.
The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to retrieve the library for the server, and stores the result in the $DPMLib variable.
The second command uses the Get-DPMTape cmdlet to return the list of tapes on Contoso-DPMServer.
PS C:\> $DPMLib = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> Get-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $DPMLib
