I find it ballsy, whuhh!
I think in restores, not backups.
Consequently, I mark tapes having
write errors for the second time
as destroyed and throw them away,
beeing afraid of them having read errors
in case of later restore.

I have not found a useful policy. If I start getting write errors on tapes
I make them a candidate for retirement, no matter how new or old they are.

Subject: Retiring LTO tapes
Hi,
I've a simple question for the group, we are using a mixture of IBM and
FujiFilm LTO1 tapes in a IBM3584 library. Does anyone have a policy (or
your thoughts) on retiring tapes, i.e. after X number of read/writes or X
years service?
Looking forward to your responses
regards
