Thanks Brian, just wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking anything.

That's pretty much it if you want to use standard labels.
From DDR's point of view it doesn't matter what the file is that was
skipped. It could be a volume label, an IPL'able copy of DDR, or a VMFPLC

DUMP.
One caveat, though: if you're using a product to mount the SL tapes for
you then you have to be cognizant of where it leaves the tape positioned
after the mount. If it leaves it positioned *after* the label, as
expected, then you either do *not* want to use the SKIP option, or you
want to rewind the tape before starting the DDR. In either case, when yo
u
restore you'll need the SKIP option.
Extra tape marks never hurt.
