It varies from library to library. Some (most?) libraries don't report the
last 2 characters to NetBackup, but the the library might still use it
internally to determine which media can be mounted in what type of drive.
You should check with the vendor.
And if you really must print your own labels, make sure the paper you print
on is sufficiently "sticky". Remember it can get prettty warm inside tape
libraries, and even warmer inside tape drives. There's nothing worse than
coming in and the morning and seeing your brand new tape labels liberally
sprinkled across the floor of your library. I'm speaking from experience
here ;)
Cheers,
Dean
