tape retension is stupid thingie anyway.

but what comes to unreadable, backup verification is not stupid thing to do.
Tape retension is hardly stupid, but quite essential, especielly on certain types on drives (like Travan for example) [Wink]

And yes, even though the backup was verified, the tapes were unreadable/unrecognized...
