First, it is important to know what kind of tape drive you are using because depending on the tape drive there are various ways of cleaning it. For example, if it's a stand-alone tape drive, you may use a cleaning tape and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Some tape drives need you to use the DPM (Data Protection Manager) when cleaning them. It is always best to follow instructions from the manufacturer when your are cleaning your tape drive so as to not mess up your drive.
