Tape backup in WindowsXP

I’ve got a Seagate travan tape drive, and want to do daily backups on the PC. I’m having a hard time understanding Media Pools, formating tapes, and renaming them. I’ve go two tapes named 000001, one named with a date, and can’t seem to get this to work right. There dosen’t seem to be any way to rename the tapes, or reformat them. I’ve add them to the Free Media pool and set the properties on the pool so the drive will draw from this pool. The windows help is sketchy at best, and I’m lost. Can anyone help me set up daily backups, and rename – format procedures?
