Personally I pre-label all my volumes into the Scratch pool, and let Bacula handle moving volumes from there to a backup pool as needed. They're then recycled back into the Scratch pool when the volume retention period is reached. That way I can label up volumes just once in a batch when purchasing new storage, and Bacula handles the rest. Bacula doesn't need to re-label volumes during day-to-day operation.
