We have recently acquired two Exabyte 8mm drives for backups. They are
working great with no problems so far. I have been reading that it's a
good idea to clean them after every ~30 hours of use. I got the cleaning
tapes, but I'm not sure how to use them! Do I just load them once, then
unload them (will that 'rub' the heads enough to clean them)? Do I tar
some big file to them, or start a dump? Am I missing something obvious?
