wrong newsgroup probably but...

I have a slew of 8mm backup tapes that have been set aside
because of repeated errors in backups. The whole backup 
mechanism on our VAXes is flaky and I'd like to confirm or
deny the integrity of the tapes. 

Does anyone know of a method/utility that could check out
these tapes?

Thanks ahead of time,
 Brian
