Accept_Label Specifies that Oracle RMU should keep the current tape label it finds on a tape during a backup operation even if that label does not match the default label or that specified with the Label qualifier. Operator notification does not occur unless the tape's protection, owner, or expiration date prohibit writing to the tape. However, a message is logged (assuming logging is enabled) and written to the backup journal file (assuming you have specified the Journal qualifier) to indicate that a label is being preserved and which drive currently holds that tape. This qualifier is particularly useful when your backup operation employs numerous previously used (and thus labeled) tapes and you want to preserve the labels currently on the tapes. If you do not specify this qualifier, the default behavior of Oracle RMU is to notify the operator each time it finds a mismatch between the current label on the tape and the default label (or the label you specify with the Label qualifier). See the description of the Labels qualifier under this command for information on default labels. See How Tapes are Relabeled During a Backup Operation in the Usage_Notes help entry under the Backup Database help entry for a summary of which labels are applied under a variety of circumstances.
