Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Setting up a label template to identify volumes

If you are not using tapes with barcode labels, and the Match Bar Code Labels attribute is not enabled for the Library resource, then every backup volume requires a unique label for identification. The NetWorker server creates a unique label for each volume by applying a label template.

  1. From the Administration window, click Media.
  2. In the expanded left pane, select Label Templates.
  3. From the File menu, select New.
  4. In the Name attribute, type a name for the label template.
  5. In the Comment attribute, type a description for the label template.
  6. In the Fields attribute, type the label’s components. Place each label component on a separate line. The template can use any or all of these components, although at least one range component must be added:
    • Range of numbers—For example, 001-999

    • Range of lowercase letters—For example, aa-zz

    • Range of uppercase letters—For example, AA-ZZ

    • Character string—For example, Accounting

    • Ranges of numbers or letters change incrementally with each new label. For example:

      • First label: Accounting.001
      • Second label: Accounting.002
      • Third label: Accounting.003
  7. Select a Separator and click OK. If no symbol is selected, the components will have no separators (for example, Accounting001).
  8. Click OK.
