+Default: not set\&. When set, this directive will cause Amanda to automatically write an Amanda tape label to most volume she encounters\&. This option is DANGEROUS because when set, Amanda may erase near\-failing tapes or tapes accidentally loaded in the wrong slot\&.
+.sp
+When using this directive, specify the template for new tape labels\&. The template should contain some number of contiguous \'%\' characters, which will be replaced with a generated number\&. Be sure to specify enough \'%\' characters that you do not run out of tape labels\&. Example:
+\fBautolabel "DailySet1\-%%%" empty\fR
