[Bacula-users] Recycle all tapes in changer

Hello List,

I made some major changes to my backup jobs and now I want to erase and recycle all my tapes.
Which steps are necessary to make the tapes usable again? All tapes are still within their retention period so pruning doesn't do anything.
I can't just drop all bacula tables like the FAQ suggests because I do want to keep track of all backups stored in harddisk-volumes.
Do I have to erase all tape-volumes, rewind them, write two EOF and label them again or is there a smarter way to do it? All tapes have barcodes so I don't know whether relabelling them with their old name again would confuse bacula...
I don't need any data on those tapes so basically I just want to wipe them.

I hope you get what I mean.

Thanks in advance,

Nils
