Normally, NetBackup will label tapes as it needs to. If you wish to label tapes to get rid of old headers or some other reason, utilize multiple ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE directives in bp.conf file to overwrite previously used media of a recognized type (ANSI, AOS/VS, CPIO, DBR, MTF1, or TAR). Use the bplabel command to write a label.
