Standalone Tape, how to proceed if the second tape is requried.

Hi,

We are using a standalone tape library.

Now, we label the tape manually based on the day of the week (e.g. Sumday = A00001).

There should be no problem now as the tape capacity still can store the data backup required.

However, when we incrased the data to be backedup (e.g. additional hard disks), one tape might not be enough.

How to design the backup policy in such a way, it will accept the second tape?

How does labelling work for the second tape?
