I read the question as asking (probably incorrectly) as whether a scratch
tape
be recovered, or a  currently in use tape have it's unused portion
recovered.

We have had this conversation with our email folks here.  I have explained
that, YES,
the previous data is sitting there past the defined deletion period.  YES,
it
is possible to access it on a very expensive fishing expedition.  So far,
that has
been acceptable.  If this changes, I suppose I'll be reading up on TSM
and/or
3592 encryption (something I know nothing about).
