It take twice the time and it'll probably cause more wear and tear on the tape but at least you'll know the tape is readable.
I had no problem reding the tapes to restore some files from time to time (when a user deleted them by mistake), but I guess murphy's law applies here: in case of disaster the tape won't be readable :-(
