Wait!

8 character barcodes are supported - at least in v4.5 & up and, IIRC, v3.4.

6-character-only used to be the rule but that's been changed.

See the Media Manager Guide under "Configuring Media Identification Rules"
(p 175 in the v4.5 MM Guide) for how to change to add 8 character rules.

NetBackup only uses six characters of a bar code.  NetBackup allows you to
choose which six characters to use (as long as you're at version 3.4.1 or
higher).  Next to the bar code rules tab when inventorying a robot is the
"Media ID Generation" tab.  That's where you tell NetBackup how many
characters there are on your bar codes and which six characters you want to
use (in your case, probably the first six).
