Take a look at auto labeling in the manual.

BTW (since you have 7TB), have you set any of the following options in
your pool definition?
* Use Volume Once = yes
* Volume Use Duration = ttt
* Maximum Volume Jobs = nnn
* Maximum Volume Bytes = mmm

Without doing that bacula will create a single volume and this will
make retention periods not have no effect because retention only
begins after a volume is marked Full or Used.
