    Labeling tapes

    Label your tapes according to the data contained on the tapes.  The
    term tape label refers to the software label name of up to six
    characters you supply for a tape, not to any label you physically
    attach to the tape.  Tape labels allow BACKUP Manager to identify a
    tape.  The following table shows suggestions for labeling tapes:
