Keep in mind that "bpexpdate" does not erase the tape itself. It simply
expires the Catalog information so that it can be deleted from the disk
Catalog and the tape can be reused. The data is still on the tape and can be
restored/imported with a simple "Import" or tar command.

If I had to erase a tape using 3.4ga for windows, what would the command be?
