This comes up so frequently it should be a FAQ.

Because Bacula (and other automated backup systems) reuse old volumes 
and keep track of stats for a tape volume on a long-term basis in order 
to detect when one may be failing, labelling by date is an INAPPROPRIATE 
METHOD.

Stop trying to bring your old hand-backup methods into an automated 
system and things will work smoothly. Bacula DOES know best.
