What are shops doing? I have no idea... I do not own a shop!
But I would review your backup documentation again, and maybe amend this.
Unless the tape is damaged or unusable, then you replace it :-)
Average tapes should be at least several hundred uses at a min!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tape re-use and replacement
We're reviewing our backup policy documentation, in particular we're trying
to define how often we replace tapes.
The tapes in question are LTO-3. Management wants to replace them after 12
write passes, but that seems a little low to me?
What are other shops doing?
Thanks,
Tristan.
