I would:
1. Create a pool just for those backups
2. Force those backups to that pool (class definition)
3. Relabel tapes older than a week. (Relabeling them renders them unusable.)
You DON'T want to degauss tapes if you plan on reusing them, depending on
the drive. A degaussed tape returned to a DLT drive will take about 2
hours to get ready for use. (It has to rewrite the headers on boths ends
of the tape.)
