Remarks
If TRUE, a media name recorded on the media is not checked. The backup set is appended to the media.
If FALSE, a recorded media name is checked. When using SQL-DMO to perform a backup, provide the media name using the MediaName property. FALSE is the default value.
Note SQL-DMO implements backup media initialization using the Initialize property. When Initialize is TRUE, SkipTapeHeader enables or disables logic that prevents overwrite of unexpired backup sets on a media. For more information, see BACKUP.
