There are a couple of possibilities here. One is that the tape really has
been relabelled in some non-standard way so that the original volume has
not been deleted from the media DB. If this has happened, then the old
volume needs to be deleted, since the actual tape does not exist any
longer. The other possibility is that the media DB has got confused about
the bar code associated with one of the tapes, probably backup.0002. If
this is the case then inventorying both volumes should sort it out.

This would become less confusing if the jukebox was set to match barcodes
to labels. I always recommend using this feature.
