A system administrator has just performed a backup. Which of the following should the administrator perform to easily identify the backup tape?

Attaching a label to the tape with identifying information - such as date, backup set name, and backup type - makes the tape uniquely identifiable among other media in storage. This is a fundamental backup best practice that enables administrators to quickly locate the correct tape during a restore operation without having to mount and read each one individually.

Mounting the tape in the drive prepares it for read or write operations but does not attach any persistent identifying information to the physical media itself.

Placing the tape in a rack is a storage and organization step but does not provide any identifying marker that distinguishes one tape from another.

Updating the site log records the backup event in documentation but does not help someone physically distinguish this specific tape from others when handling the media.
