Labeling tapes
Label your tapes according to the data contained on the tapes. The
term tape label refers to the software label name of up to six
characters you supply for a tape, not to any label you physically
attach to the tape. Tape labels allow BACKUP Manager to identify a
tape. The following table shows suggestions for labeling tapes:
