Restore Tape Confusion

[jwillard]

We do full backups of all the data that needs backup 6 nights a week on a two week rotation schedule. I've been doing some test restores and I've found that it is very confusing as too which tape is being requested by Brightstor. Is there a way that I can make it so it asks for tape "monday B" or "Friday A" (for example) without asking for serial numbers or sessions that I don't immediately recognize.
Should I create a media pool?

Will that help?

Any answers or links would be greatly appreciated.

well if a rotation job is used then the tapes are labled Monday, Tues...., what are you running one custom job so that all the tapes have the same name??? either use rotation or setup a different custom job for each day of the week, each going to a different tape name.
