[Veritas-bu] Problem with Restoring from Tape without having BAR CODE

Dear All,

Recently we are having a problem while restoring DATA from old TAPE. 
We took BACKUP suing Dell Native 400/800 GB LTO 3 Tape, We used SUN C2 
Autoloder with 16 Slot(It has BAR CODE Reader)

In general we used this TAPE without having a single problem, but in last month 
when we user a bunch of new TAPE for taking backup, none of those tape having 
BAR Code printed on it.

So, we used those tapes for taking backup, but at the time of restoring when we 
re inserted the TAPE, media id getting changed every time.

For Eg. Before backup it's A00021, and the same tape while we re-insert for 
restore, media id getting changed to A00022, and same thi9ng happens on every 
single tape without having bar code But while using a TAPE with Bar Code, 
everything went smooth. So we are failed to restored anything from the TAPE. We 
are lucky enough that we found this problem on restore drill. We don't realized 
this problem earlier.

So, is there any way with which we can change the Meadia ID of an old TAPE, to 
restore? We need a solution, coz there are 2-3 tape we used for Monthly backup 
those don't have any bar code, if any of those tape are required for restore in 
future, then we will be failed.. :(

Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks
