If your archive has a barcode reader it is highly recommended that you
use barcode labels and use the barcode functionality builtin to bacula
otherwise when you add or remove tapes bacula must load every tape in
the archive so that it knows what volumes are in what slots. This will
take a long time on large archives. In the case where you have a
barcode reader and all of your tapes have barcode labels update slots
takes no time at all. Although the archive itself will take some time
(but much less than loading each tape) cataloging the tapes. Then to
label your tapes in bacula you do not use the label command you would
instead issue the


label barcodes

command and I recommend you put the tapes in the Scratch pool.
