If you choose to create your own templates, you can include as many components in the Fields attribute as necessary to suit your organizational structure. However, it is a good idea to keep the template simple with few components. For example, if you create a label template for your Accounting Department, you could customize your label template in several ways depending on the size of your storage system and media device capabilities. Table C-2 illustrates several ways you could use components to organize your labels. This label is for the first tape in rack 1 on shelf 1.
Every volume belongs to a pool and requires a corresponding, identifying label.
NetWorker creates a unique label for each volume by applying a label template. How NetWorker Uses Label Templates NetWorker writes a given set of data to a specific pool. For NetWorker to recognize that a particular volume belongs to the correct pool, the volume must have an identifying label that associates it with the correct pool. The contents of the volume label follow rules defined in a specific label template that you create in the Label templates dialog box. You then associate a label template with a specific pool in the Pools dialog box.
