Caution
If you use the Bulk Load option when you have multiple partitions configured in
the library, cartridges may end up in the wrong partition since you may not know
which physical slots are assigned to each partition. Importing cartridges into the
wrong partition and then writing data to the them risks mixing data sets that you
intended to keep separate.
