If you have bar code support for a robotic library that uses different types of drives, you can create a bar code rule so that Backup Exec can identify which media type to use in a drive. When Backup Exec reads the bar code rule, it locates the type of media that corresponds to the prefix or suffix and then mounts the media into a drive that accepts that type of media.
Bar code rules for robotic libraries do not go into effect until you enable them.
