NoRewind Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The NoRewind property specifies whether Microsoft SQL Server keeps a tape drive open and positioned after a backup or restore operation.

Syntax

object
.NoRewind [= value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    TRUE or FALSE

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetNoRewind(BOOL);
HRESULT SetNoRewind(BOOL);

Remarks

If NoRewind is set to TRUE, SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) issues the Transaction-SQL BACKUP or RESTORE command with the NOREWIND option. This allows SQL Server to keep a tape drive open and positioned, thereby preventing the overhead of rewinding and scanning a tape. This is useful in situations where a tape is repeatedly used. NoRewind is set to FALSE by default.

Note

If an application calls NoRewind on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the operation is ignored.
