NOTE:
Before beginning the export process, verify that the physical tape library exporting the data uses the
same number of barcode characters as the physical tape library that will import the data. If the
barcodes do not match exactly, the import process will not work. See your tape library user manuals
for information on checking and configuring the number of barcode characters used.
