Hi Daniele,

If I understand correctly, you're trying to reuse tapes that were
already used in Bacula before.  But you want to change the label.

Whenever I want to reuse a tape that has already been used by Bacula, I
erase it first.  Then I use it as if it was brand new.  E.g. load it
and do an "mt -f /dev/nst0 weof && mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind" then "label
barcodes" in bconsole.

If the tape was used in this same Bacula installation you will likely
have to clean up the related database entries.  I haven't done that as
I've only reused tapes from other Bacula installs.  A 'purge volume' or
maybe 'detete volume' should do it, check the manual.

Regards,
