I have partial backups, misc files, etc on about 30%
of the tapes (from a previous environment) the unit
was given to me, tapes and all and I want to redeploy
it so I thought the best thing to "start from scratch"
would be to reset the tapes to 0% used?

I hope that makes sense...if not let me know and I can
try to clarify.
