VMS Help  —  RMU72  Optimize  Command Qualifiers, Accept Label
    Accept_Label

    Specifies that Oracle RMU should keep the current tape label it
    finds on a tape during an optimize-to-tape 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) to indicate that a label is being preserved and which
    drive currently holds that tape.

    This qualifier is particularly useful when your optimize-to-tape
    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.
