But if it does NOT copy the label across, then the backup disk would not boot (in a restore situation) due to an invalid identification problem, similar to the UUID that I'm working around.
PS: I deal with this by editing the necessary files after each backup. In my case, I'm copying over network, so I can simply have the same UUIDs in both arrays. The MACs OTOH require fiddling: sed --in-place --file=- /srv/backup/root/etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent-net.rules <<-EOF s/00:1b:21:0d:32:8d/00:1b:21:c6:4f:fc/ s/00:1b:21:b6:67:14/00:1b:21:b6:65:98/ s/00:1b:21:b6:67:15/00:1b:21:b6:65:99/ s/00:1b:21:b6:67:16/00:1b:21:b6:65:9a/ s/00:1b:21:b6:67:17/00:1b:21:b6:65:9b/ s/1c:6f:65:c6:47:56/1c:6f:65:c6:47:46/ EOF
