We've been approached by a company that is offering to buy back our old magnetic tapes. They will clean them overwrite them, purge them, inspect them, then resell them. I've never heard of such a thing. We have been sending them off to be totally destroyed ($1/lb.) Is anyone participating is such a tape buy back program? And, what are the risks, pro's, con's etc. of such a service? -- --- Clyde Hoadley, CISSP, GSEC Director of Information Security Information Technology Metropolitan State College of Denver Campus Box 96, P.O.
