After the mt command, you can try to read data with dd for example. You can
also
edit the BSR file to remove all files that are on the 14th file of your
tape.

Just use "run bootstrap=/path/to/bootstrap" to rerun the restore without
selecting anything.
If you drive asks to be cleaned too often, contact your hardware support to
change it.
