when you use nsrjb -w to 'withdraw' the tapes from the jukebox the location

but you should mark them all as full, and manual recycle to avoid any of them
being written to while in the library for restores. also nothing wrong with
putting the write-protect tabs on just to make sure.... (so long as you have
version 7 at least...).
Oops. I didn't do that :) Looks like -w will move one tape at a time to
the mail slot on my jukebox. That's grand but I wasn't about to do that
for all 58 tapes. Instead I unlocked the magazine doors to the jukebox
and replaces all tape magazines in one shot. Afterwards I used nsrjb -I
to have Networker inventory the jukebox before running nsrjb -L to label
the new tapes.
All though I don't see how I don't think what I did was 'wrong'. Might
not have been a 'best practice' though! :)
