With the DDS tapes, what I do is open the case and cut the tape into 
short lengths. (You can do this easily by cutting across the spindle.) I 
don't know what the data rate is, but due to the compression you need 
the parts of the tape in sequence for correct decompression. Good luck 
arranging several thousand shards of tape back into the right order once 
they've been messed up in the bottom of my bin! ;-)

I have *no idea* how you'd do that to an LTO tape though...
