Default How often do you recycle LTO1 tapes?

Hello!

One of the responsibilites in my new job is, to take care of
the backup of our Solaris servers. We're using LTO 1 tapes to
hold the backup.

When I now had a look at the Netbackup software, I saw that
some of our tapes are quite old (from 2003) and have been
mounted up to 500 times.

I'm just curious - how often do you guys "retire" tapes? Do
you base that on the age of the tape or on the number of mounts?

Best regards,

Alexander Skwar
