Get the saveset ID for each saveset on that tape that you do want
to retain, then clone those savesets to a different tape. Then
after you verify that the cloned savesets are okay, then you can
put the original tape under lock and key. If you delete the original
tape from your media database, you may end up deleting the index
entries for the cloned copies of the data you want to retain so just
put the original tape somewhere safe.
