Please be aware that if your library can read barcodes and you are not actually using barcodes on your tapes then you may need to actually disable something on the library itself (so not inside Backup Exec.)
Most libraries that can read barcodes have a required format of barcode that the library can decode to match with types the library supports. As such if you don't have barcodes on your tapes and the reader is enabled it might decide that the lack of a barcode is a violation and then feedback an error code to any backup software to the effect the the tape cannot be used. How the returned error is handled by the backup software would then vary from one software vendor to another and I am not sure what error Backup Exec would generate for this scenario.
BTW if you have a barcode reader it is recommended that you do use barcodes but if you do decide to buy some make sure the format of barcode you buy (or self print) is correct for your library and LTO6 tapes.
