I agree with the comments from Joshua Baker-LePain that automatically
doing this is probably dangerous.

One thought about how to do it (but not any safer) would be to get
a catalogue of the dump image from tape after amdump/amflush and then
remove the items it said it found.  This is especially unsafe when using
dump because a catalogue (restore with the 't' option) does not really
read the whole image, but if you use GNU tar and it successfully reads
the whole image, you can be reasonably certain the data is really there.

Depending on what the data is, I'd want to clone the tape (and verify
the clone) so I had at least two copies, though.
