Wiping out data from old backup tapes

by rbhatia . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

I would like to wipe out the data from old backup tapes without having to reload them into my tape drive. I heard this is possible by placing a magnet on the tape. Has anybody ever tried this and is there a special magnet that can do this ?
Or is there another way of doing this ?
