Look at the configs for the pools. There are options to label from
another pool and allow other pools to overwrite the label.

Thanks, I'll be sure to turn that on. I would have sworn it *was* on,
but 
apparently not ...

Oh, right, we had to uninstall and reinstall NetWorker, and we lost all 
the previous settings (because we didn't save them properly,
apparently).

If a tape already *has* an internal label, is there any way to overwrite

it with a new one, one that follows the label template? Automatically, I

mean.
