Yes, with the exception of removable media (floppy or CD Rom drives), volume
labels are no longer required.

I guess I always viewed the limitation of not being able to backup unlabeled
drives as a liability .....

With the change of the ADSM client to use UNC names for the filespace (ie
\\machinename\C$) does this remove the need for all drives to be assigned
disk labels in order for them to be backed up? (If so,m it will remove the
"easy" way to ensure thatr a drive was not backed up by ensuring it did not
have a label).
