Looking for a bit of advice here... hoping someone may have some pointers.

The back story is that I have three incremental tapes. Each one is written to 
for one business week. The total of the jobs per day is roughly 300MB. So, for 
the 5 days, about 1.5GB. I'm concerned about premature tape wear in this 
scenario -- writing to the same 1.5GB at the beginning of the tape all of the 
time must be a bad idea. 

So, I guess what I'm looking for is some way to keep my current rotation (3 
tapes, 1 week per tape) but write to a larger part of the tape surface. These 
are DDS4 tapes, so I could write several times to the same tape.

Any hints?
