Reminds me of years ago in a data center in South Dakota that was short
on space. When one of our keypunch operators found out that our old
2540 punch/reader would punch cards, she suggested loading all our blank
cards to tape and when we needed some, just "punch" them off the tape...

But Rob, that leaves the data still on disk.
What you need to do is DDR the disks to tape, then "data security erase"
the tapes, and then obviously -- restore the erased tapes to the disk.
Voila - no more data on disk! Of course you'd need to restore from the
"data security erase"d tapes to disk several times to ensure that
multiple layers were re-written.

So, that leaves him the option to DDR from disk to tape, and then
"security erase" those tapes. ;-)
