That looks like a strange way to deal with the problem. Why didn't you
just label some tapes into your normal backup pool on the secondary
library?

And label templates? Surely you would be using "match barcodes" in a
VTL?

Davina, yes perhaps, but we are in a pinch/rush here, and i will get to
that when time allows, sorry for not being clearer - as for the labels,
i mean the pool lable when you create a vtl tape. i'm not sure what you
mean, our barcodes have always matched the labels by default for us...
:\ 

In any event, we are in the process of moving to EMC Avamar , so this
may be my last posting i admit i have not been reading here much lately.

cheers, and thanks for the info's the past few years.. keep on
networking, this is really a great list.  :) 

Cheers & Regards,
James
