Property Value

A Boolean value that specifies whether the tape header is read. If True, a media name recorded on the medium is not selected. The backup set is appended to the medium. If False (default), a recorded media name is selected.

Remarks

SMO implements backup media initialization using the Initializeproperty. When Initialize is True, SkipTapeHeader enables or disables logic that prevents overwrite of unexpired backup sets on a medium.
