Label=(label-name-list) Specifies the 1- to 6-character string with which the volumes of the backup file are to be labeled. The Label qualifier is applicable only to tape volumes. You must specify one or more label names when you use the Label qualifier. If you do not specify the Label (or Accept_Label) qualifier, RMU Backup labels the first tape used for a backup operation with the first 6 characters of the backup file name. Subsequent default labels are the first 4 characters of the backup file name appended with a sequential number. For example, if your backup file is my_backup.rbf, the default tape labels are my_bac, my_ b01, my_b02, and so on. When you reuse tapes, RMU Backup compares the label currently on the tape to the label or labels you specify with the Label qualifier. If there is a mismatch between the existing label and a label you specify, RMU Backup sends a message to the operator asking if the mismatch is acceptable (unless you also specify the Accept_Labels qualifier). If desired, you can explicitly specify the list of tape labels for multiple tapes. If you list multiple tape label names, separate the names with commas and enclose the list of names within parentheses. If you are reusing tapes be certain that you load the tapes so that the label RMU Backup expects and the label on each tape will match, or be prepared for a high level of operator intervention. Alternatively, you can specify the Accept_Label qualifier. In this case, the labels you specify with the Label qualifier are ignored if they do not match the labels currently on the tapes and no operator intervention occurs. If you specify fewer labels than are needed, RMU Backup generates labels based on the format you have specified. For example, if you specify Label=TAPE01, RMU Backup labels subsequent tapes as TAPE02, TAPE03, and so on up to TAPE99. Thus, many volumes can be preloaded in the cartridge stacker of a tape drive. The order is not important because RMU Backup relabels the volumes. An unattended backup operation is more likely to be successful if all the tapes used do not have to be mounted in a specific order. Once the backup operation is complete, externally mark the tapes with the appropriate label so that the order can be maintained for the restore operation. Be particularly careful if you are allowing RMU Backup to implicitly label second and subsequent tapes and you are performing an unattended backup operation. Remove the tapes from the drives in the order in which they were written. Apply labels to the volumes following the logic of implicit labeling (for example, TAPE02, TAPE03, and so on). Oracle recommends you use the Journal qualifier when you employ implicit labeling in a multidrive, unattended backup operation. The journal file records the volume labels that were written to each tape drive. The order in which the labels were written is preserved in the journal. Use the RMU Dump Backup command to display a listing of the volumes written by each tape drive. You can use an indirect file reference with the Label qualifier. See the Indirect-command-files help entry for more information. See How Tapes are Relabeled During a Backup Operation in the Usage_Notes help entry under this command for a summary of which labels are applied under a variety of circumstances.
