If your archive has a barcode reader it is highly recommended that you use barcode labels and use the barcode functionality builtin to bacula otherwise when you add or remove tapes bacula must load every tape in the archive so that it knows what volumes are in what slots. This will take a long time on large archives. In the case where you have a barcode reader and all of your tapes have barcode labels update slots takes no time at all. Although the archive itself will take some time (but much less than loading each tape) cataloging the tapes. Then to label your tapes in bacula you do not use the label command you would instead issue the label barcodes command and I recommend you put the tapes in the Scratch pool.
