I had a script to move the tapes that are full to a not mountable state.
Is your data on these non-full tapes not critical that you can afford them
to be onsite in the event of a disaster?
I combined my offsite storage pools (to reduce tapes used) into 2 separate
storage pools for DRM. (PROD_OFFSITE, DEV_OFFSITE).
I do send off a few non full tapes each day but, I reclaim the space later
my moving that not full data to other tapes based on % reclaimable.
