"PC/LAN Support" at my organization does not label most volumes on the Lan
servers or workstations at installation time.  It seems (during initial backup
testing) that ADSM requires a volume label to be able to identify the drive
being backed up.  A new "policy" of labeling drive volumes (thanks to ADSM) is
about to put into place.  My question is as follows:

    Will it cause problems if different clients have (e.g.) C: volumes with the
  same volume name?   (Most of our workstation volumes that even have labels
  are simply labeled "OS2" at this time.)
