It's normal and tells you how much taper wrote (~45 GBytes in this case).
This is particularly useful when it bangs into end of tape because it
gives you an idea of how much data you can store in real life, or to
track tapes that consistently don't perform well.

It also tells you how many files (backup images) were written (23 in
this case).  If you see an fm value of 1 and an error, either the tape
failed or the image is too big to fit.
