Check backup file size on backup tape

Hi,

I performed backup on tape and I want to append more files to my previous backup on the same backup tape. But before I do that I need to know the backup file size of the first backup I performed so that I know the available size on the backup tape. Can someone help me what command I will use to check the size? I use tar on performing the backup. Thanks!
