Easily move tapes to a new location

[rossini]

Every day my company has 20-30 tapes that are removed from the data center and placed at an off site location.  This requires a person to go into the Backup Exec program connect to each media server, find each tape and change it's location.  Then that person must organize the tapes so they can be found at a later time.  As a developer I would like to write a program that would allow the user to scan the bar code on the tapes, and the program would find the tapes on the media servers and automatically change their location, and tell the user where to put the tapes.  I have a program that will accept the data from the bar code scanner, but I don't know how to interface with Backeup Exec.  How can my program interface with the Backup Exec program? Does Backup Exec already support scanning of barcodes on the tapes? 

thanks,

John.

that article is about Boot Disk Creator configuration, I don't understand how that helps me programmatically communicate with Backup Exec.
