Yes it would.

If you're doing an 'audit library' use the checklabel=barcode option to make it 
a mile faster - otherwise it will mount each tape and read the header.  If 
you're doing an audit from barcode it should be more of a 20 minute job than a 
6 hour job (or more!).

You might consider a quick script to disable all schedules, admin and client, 
as well as changing migration thresholds etc.  Also it might be wise to disable 
client session for the duration if you want to be really sure.
