I suppose if you can't change the tape labels, you could just use a half
dozen tapes, and update the catalog backup configuration when you change
tapes.

Its what I do Paul ! Works for me, and part of my DR Solution for the site.
I even have a DR Pack to get a Master / Media up as quickly as possible
using a CD and a Catalog Tape.

You might want to go with a pair of 146Gig disks, so you can avoid having to
do this again in 6 months or a year.
if you configure both tapes then those two barcodes must always be in the
robot.......the barcodes, but not necessarily the tapes.
What I've done in the past is, say for instance you have tape 000010 and
000020 as your catalog backup tapes, On Monday, I pull 000010 and swap the
label onto another tape....on the removed tape, mark "Media ID 000010
Catalog Backup Dec 11th" then send it offsite with a return date for the
following Monday...on Tuesday, remove 000020 and swap the label onto another
tape, on this removed tape, mark "Media ID 000020 Catalog Backup Dec 12th",
etc, etc, all week long.....untill next Monday, you recieve the Dec 11th
tape back, then you swap it with the 000010 tape that comes out next Monday,
so you've got a few copies, of the last few days, if you have a bad piece of
media, and you still alway have 2 copies in the library.......
I did this with DLT tapes when you could swap the labels....Never considered
how I'd do it with LTO tapes with the sticky labels, as right now, I just
replicate the catalog volume to another site, and alternate catalog backups
to two tapes, one local and one offsite, over DWDM.
I suppose if you can't change the tape labels, you could just use a half
dozen tapes, and update the catalog backup configuration when you change
tapes.

That's was great help guys. Thanks a lot. I'll be adding 2 new disks at the
end of the day just to be on the safe side and I plan on backing up to a
second tape. Is there any need to be removing any one of these tapes to my
remote site or should I just keep these 2 tapes in the library at all times?
