Netbackups reads the preprinted barcodes that are stuck on your tapes.  If
you want Netbackup to label them you cannot use preprinted barcodes that I
am aware of.  If you have two different types of tapes in your library you
could order specific number sets from HP and set the barcode rules specific
to the number sets to separate your tapes.

Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Kevin

The L2 part is identifying the tapes as LTO2, and is not shown to netbackup
when you do an inventory.

I don't know if you can configure the library to send this also, check your
docs.

I'm not sure if you can configure barcode rules to ADD the L2 on the end,
but this may also be possible!

Cheers
James
