Aha...  So we don't even use 'label barcodes' in this scenario at all 
then?  But do I have to "add" all 40 blank tapes manually?  I assume 
when you "add" a tape, it will do what "label barcodes" does when it 
labels it and automatically label it using the barcode as the volume name?

And once I "add" a volume it will automatically use it and resume the 
backup job?
