Write garbage to a DDS3?

Does anyone know of a utility/application that would write garbage to a tape, therefore "sanitizing" it in case it got lost in the mail? I know this is a goofy question but it's real.

Simply backup a large file with no useful data in it--say /stand/vmunix? Just repeat in a script until you run out of tape
