Sorry, I meant burn in the figurative sense! The tape is damaged-can't write to
it but I can read from it.

Subject: RE: secure disposal of backup tapes
Hi I wanted to get some ideas from everyone for secure disposal of
DDS/TRAVAN/DLT backup tapes.
Using a hammer on them then cutting the tapes up with sissors....
What is the security level of data that was on them ?
Maybe just a plain write with multiple patterns and
putting them up on eBay might be enough
How do you burn yours?
Please do *not* burn them they might be toxic
