Topic: Commands for erasing a tape (software independant) ?

[DarkskyZ]

Hi,

Are there any command to clean up a tape and erase it that would be software independant, I mean not using flexbackup ?
I experience problem using flexbackup which don't backup anything but even erase the index it created using flexbackup -newtape so I just want to clean all this up before spending time on fixing my backup problems.

Thanks,
