Bet you do.
Remember you are recovering the entire system. Someone needs to have
that report handy and if it's been a long time that's another thing to
keep. And where DO you keep it? With the tape of course. Which is in a
VTL so do you stuff it behind the front cover?
And someone cleaning up the VTL at some point can easily delete the tape
because it hasn't been used in years and since you can't put comments on
tapes in a VTL you gotta remember somehow.
Contrast with LTO tape. You can box it, label it, write on the label and
the box and put it in the vault. Or on a shelf. Or both. Or three places.
I am thinking of the many shops i work with and turnover and location
changes and new VTLs and and and. I think the tape has a better chance
sitting ther with labels and the recovery report.
IN any case, Knowledge is needed for sure.

It's BRMS, you do not need to know the name of the tape in the DD (nor any physical tape either).
