I've had the same thing happen to tapes.  What a bummer.  I put the tape in, 
and it ran and ran and ran.  Then... THE TAPE HEADER CONTAINS UNREADABLE 
INFORMATION.  So I figure, if it's gone, I guess I'll format the tape.  So it 
runs and runs and runs.  Then... THE TAPE IS NOT FORMATABLE.
I still haven't figured out what to back the BBS up with that won't do that.  
I'm actually considering using a second HD and the tape at the same time.  I 
figure the odds of both going bad are huge.
