Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property SkipTapeHeader As Boolean
    Get
    Set
'Usage
Dim instance As Backup
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.SkipTapeHeader

instance.SkipTapeHeader = value

public bool SkipTapeHeader { get; set; }

public:
property bool SkipTapeHeader {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

member SkipTapeHeader : bool with get, set

function get SkipTapeHeader () : boolean
function set SkipTapeHeader (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
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.
