Managing tape storage media

This section includes the following topics:

•
Labeling tape media
•
Blanking tape media
•

Marking a tape as unusable

•

Labeling tape media

Each piece of media, whether a tape cartridge or a virtual tape in a VTL, uses a label for identification. Media items can be labeled using media barcodes, system-generated strings, or user-defined strings. You can manually assign labels to blank media or automatically label the media during a backup.

By default, NetVault Backup assigns a system-generated string to a blank media item. You can modify the configuration settings to use media barcodes as the default labels. For more information, see Configuring general settings for Media Manager.

The following sections describe the procedures that you can use to assign media labels to blank tapes:

•
Labeling multiple tapes in a library in list view
•
Labeling multiple tapes in a library in tree view
•
Labeling a single tape in list view

– Seed: To identify individual media items, a sequential number is added to the user-defined string. The option defines the initial value for the sequence. This value is increased by one for each item. The default value for this option is one.

Group Label

To add the media items to a group, select the group label in the list. If you want to create a group label, type the string.
