2.Use Backup to label the volume. You can use either the Backup administration
program or the nsrmmcommand.
There are three options:
*If you do not select a pool for the volume that you are about to label, Backup
automatically applies the label template associated with the Default pool.
*To create individual label names not associated with a template, edit the
Volume Name attribute in the Label resource and enter a unique label name.
*If you enable the Manual Recycle attribute when you label a volume, the
volume cannot automatically be marked as recyclable according to the
retention policy. Only an administrator can mark the volume recyclable.
When Backup labels a volume, Backup first verifies that the volume is unlabeled.
Then Backup labels the volume with the name specified in the Volume Name
attribute, using either the next sequential label from the label template associated
with the chosen pool or an override volume name you entered.
If you relabel a recyclable volume from the same pool, the volume label name and
sequence number remain the same, but access to the original data on the volume is
destroyed and the volume becomes available for new data.
After a volume is labeled and mounted in a device, the volume is available to
receive data. Because the Backup label is internal and machine-readable, it is a good
idea to put an adhesive label on each volume that matches the internal volume label.
To use barcode labels with an autochanger, see "How Backup Uses Barcode Labels
with Autochangers" on page 142. To use barcode labels with a silo, see "Labeling
Volumes in a Silo" on page 180.
