Do as the others have suggested. Label a volume. Let the backup run .
I suspect, that eventually, you'll want to let Bacula automatically create
volumes and label them.
There are two directives you need to add. One is LabelFormat, in the Pool
definition. The other is in the Device in bacula-sd.conf: LabelMedia = yes
The first defines the format for the label. The other enables a particular
device to automatically label.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
