Repairing the Detached Leader Block
When a tape is damaged, use a backup tape. If a leader block is detached, the
cartridge or tape has no obvious damage, and you have no backup tape, you
may repair the leader block using a repair kit provided by your supplier. You
can use the tape one time to copy the data to another tape.
