In both options stop bacula-sd before proceeding and you can start it
again after this procedure completes.
The first is to wipe the label on each tape:

Basically use mtx or the autochanger controls to load each tape one by
one and do the following two commands to erase the label from the
tape:

mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
mt -f /dev/st0 weof

replace /dev/st0 with your tape device if it is different.

There is a discussion of this here:

net/msg16850.html

This method will erase the label so that label barcodes will be able
to put a new label on each tape.


Now the second is to scan the tapes and import them back into the catalog:

http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION003970000000000000000

bscan -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf -v -V Vol001\|Vol002\|Vol003 /dev/nst0

And in your case the volumes will be B27715\|B27687\|B27684\|B27679

Dont forget the \ before the |


This will read all data that was written to these tapes so it can take
a long time.

With this option you do not want to label barcodes after it is done.
