I thought of this as well. Labeling this way would mean to put an
additional info session upfront, as I didn't find another way to label
those LTO tapes. Please correct me on this if I'm wrong.
However a separate label per session including the hostname would help
to tell the different archive sessions apart. But I think there's no
easy way to do this, so I'll do it your way.
