Hi all, I have a frozen tape report that looks like the following:

Frozen Media Report for the last week
004745, it contains NetBackup database backup data and cannot be used
for backups
DH2018, it has had at least 3 errors in the last 12 hour(s)
DH2022, it contains NetBackup database backup data and cannot be used
for 
HH0734, it is write protected and cannot be used for backups
HH0874, it is unmountable and cannot be used for backups
HH1012, it is write protected and cannot be used for backups
HH1094, it is write protected and cannot be used for backups

The error that concerns me is the first one about the database backup
data. It looks like that some time ago some of our DLT tapes were used
for catalog backups. (NetBackup DB backups)

My question is how can I remove that info from the tape so that
NetBackup thinks its okay to use the tape.

Is there an easier way than mounting all of these tapes and writing a
tar file to the tape, or doing a dd copy to it?

Thanks,
Taylor
