Had a few questions.

1. How do you handle it?
2. You can send tapes off-site to Iron Mountain, degauss them before you 
send them off-site, that is one option.
3. How much are the machines that "securely" and physically destroy the 
tape media?
4. If they're physically destroyed, how do you deal with the tape shards, 
how do you dispose of the material?

How do others on this list deal with bad tapes (with thousands of errors 
etc) how do you properly dispose of them?

Justin.
