Could someone explain why there are those two steps (prelabeling and labeling)? Even on a tape the "right" label is written only once, with the first job on the tape, so the prelabel is often very temporary, especially when you add a new volume to the pool to continue backups (and that is the usual case with DVDs). And is anybody able to fix Bacule so it does the "right" label when first writting to the DVD and never tries to relabel it?
