Thanks, I'll be sure to turn that on. I would have sworn it *was* on, but 
apparently not ...

Oh, right, we had to uninstall and reinstall NetWorker, and we lost all 
the previous settings (because we didn't save them properly, apparently).

If a tape already *has* an internal label, is there any way to overwrite 
it with a new one, one that follows the label template? Automatically, I 
mean.
