"ouch?"

How many tapes are you dealing with?  If it's a relatively small number,
you could get away with that.  Make sure you have a dump of your images
and their retentions to help with researching images to import in an
emergency and then work on a schedule to get as many as you deem
important imported as quickly as possible.  You may want to also try and
identify critical systems and import those tapes first.
