I just had an interesting case of a backup media misleadingly labeled as a cleaning media:
While backing up a server directly to the tape the connection was lost. The backup job failed, as it should be, but the tape was labelled as a cleaning media afterwards.
The following jobs, of course, started a new tape and went on without any problem.
As I usually do, I just deleted the tape from the 'cleaning media' set and clicked on 'scan' and it is a backup medium with a bit of space left on it again.

P.S.: for the Veritas/Symantec people: I'm just telling my experience and not seeking for support (this time), so give us a break from asking about details.
