I have a set of tapes that contain an important backup.  The backup has expired, but the tapes haven’t been over-written, and I intend to “bpimport” them at a future time.


IMMEDIATELY remove the set of tapes and flip the write-protect tabs if you haven't done so yet.. Then move the tapes to a non-scratch pool.

Once the tapes are in a non-scratch pool, you don't need to freeze them because nobody will try and take them.  And write-protecting protects the data and your butt at the same time.
