This has been discussed some from time to time. Basically, as I remember, two conclusions.
1. Don't put ANY labels on tapes except the original barcode labels. Anything else has the potential to jam tape drives or robot mechanism. 2. I believe some folks have used some type of felt tip pen of various colors (to stand out from color of LTO tape case) to make some markings on the tape case. David B.

We have been asked to add an additional sticker to all our LTO 1 and LTO2 tapes as a unique identifier for the disaster recovery test(about 600 tapes) while at the DR test site besides the barcode label. We will be using a 3584 Library - LTO 2 drives for the recovery test. I talked to our library vendor, who suggested adding the labels to the top of the lto 2 tapes, and that the additional label doesn't pose any problem as long as it isn't a barcode type label and that the label of course is stuck on correctly to the tape. I believe the identifier would be our DR contract number(have to confirm that). Wondering if anyone else has had to do this for a dr test, any issues, recommendations?
