Thanks, though with 20+ tapes of their data... I suspect there's an
easier way I'd overlooked: checkout the volumes, hand the tapes over,
then destroy the volumes with discarddata=yes. On my first quick pass
through TFM I'd thought the discarddata=yes would try to physically
erase the tape, but it looks like it just removes the database entries
for the backed-up data, which is fine.
