been used.

perform an erase, format, or label operation on the cartridge.

Make sure you understand any data protection or overwrite protection
schemes that your backup application may be using, which could prevent
you from writing to a given cartridge.

Retry the operation with a different, known good tape.

Clean the tape drive. (See Cleaning tape drive (page 62) .)
