Stan is a FREAKIN Genius!!! <grin> That is exactly what I was going to
say!
Personal opinion if you are an org of any size, you need a SAN with
500GB->2TB to perform data migrations to current technology.
3 years of junk you need a big junk heap. 3 years ago LTO-1? Now LTO-3
woot! Imagine the tape storage space saved?
Woo & his cousin Hoo! /ALE

Tape is not like disk; once the data is writen to tape, its on tape
until it all expires. Your only option that I can see is to recover
the data in question to a different server, then back up just what
you want from that server to different tapes. That's likely to be not
worth the effort though.
