Magnetic tapes can be erased with a degausser and reused, as long as they are still in good condition. |

Then the journalists fed the pieces into the degausser. |
|
The safest way to erase data is using degausser, which it can generate a strong magnetic field the completely destroy the magnetic signal on the disk so that all the data will be deleted permanently. |
|
On a DLT tape with 80GB of compressed data, an industrial strength degausser must be employed. |
|
The degausser must have a high enough coercivity rating to overcome the drive's magnetic field and completely erase its stored information. |
