Hi,

Please include the list in the future.
It appears you need to limit your labels to 6 characters.
Check the volume manager manual, you need to edit vm.conf for NBU 6.x++
the labels for LTOX should be no more than 6 characters long, if your
barcode reader reads more than the first 6 characters, you need to limit
it.

BTW, is this a new environment?
Or did this just start happening?
If it just started happening, have you run an inventory and retried the
backup?

Justin.
