Use the 'label' command in bconsole.

No, nothing obvious to me.

Well, there are several locations...

http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/console/console/Bacula_Console.html 
(search for "label")

http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Getting_Started_with_Bacula.html#SECTION00420000000000000000
 
gives information what a pool and a volume are.

http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.htm 
(again, search for "label") Also read the descriptions regarding 
retention, recycling, and so on.

In fact, you should read most of the manual :-)
