I suspect this question has been asked & answered, but I alas could not find any answer that was definitive one way or the other. i.e.: can do, or cannot do. I found one response from 2005 but I could not relate it to Backup exec 12.5

We backup to two separate Backup to disk (B2D) destinations. A local USB drive for daily backups & a NAS Drive for weekly backups.
Here is my dilemma.
The media label for all the backups are sequential & in the same series.
i.e.: IMG000897 and B2D015411
There is no way to differentiate by the label which media belongs to which backup .If the last daily backup of the week is IMG000897 , then the weekly backup will be IMG000898.
Is there a way to set the jobs to use different labels? Even if they simply use a different numbering sequence, it will suffice.
Relabeling after the job has run, is not an option.
