In which case, the only idea that comes to my humble mind is to read all
the files off the tape in question.  Remove the tape from NetWorker's
media database, delete the unwanted files that were read from the tape,
then back up the remaining files to another tape, or the same tape after
relabeling it. This assumes you have sufficient disk space to read in the
entire tape.
