OK, thanks for the feedback. My response was mostly for Ralf,
which is why I referred to "the user" i.e. you in my responses,
but I wasn't 100% sure. It is good to know that the problem is
resolved.
Best regards,
Kern

I already wrote this previously: the
error message produced by Bacula
indicates that the user has enabled ANSI volume labels. This
is unusual
and generally not needed unless you have multiple different
backup/other
programs using the tapes. In any case, if you explicitly
enable this
ANSI tape label option in Bacula (turned off by default),
you are
limited to 6 characters in the tape name. Without the ANSI
tape label
option in the bacula-sd.conf file, your tape labels may be
up to 127
characters in length.
As I previously wrote, I think that the user is confusing
barcodes and
reading barcodes with the ANSI tape labels feature in
Bacula.
Best regards,
Kern
