LTO labels allow accurate and efficient identification of LTO tape cartridges by autoloaders, tape libraries and IT staff. If usage of LTO media involves only a manually operated standalone tape drive and a few cartridges, handwritten or improvised printed labels may suffice. However, in most situations some degree of automation occurs using tape libraries and backup software. In such cases, machine-readable LTO labels are needed, allowing libraries to identify and handle tape cartridges.
