If the storage media does not have a label, SBCON displays a message
saying that the media cannot be identified. Set the label before selecting
it for a backup job.
11 Select Advanced Options and set the desired values for all the fields.
For more details, see “Customizing Backup” on page 53.
NOTE: If you set Enable Auto Recovery to NO in Cluster Options, the remaining
options become invalid.
12 Select Append Session.
This option appears only if your device supports appending to previous
sessions on the media.
Accept the default YES if you want to preserve all sessions on the media.
The backup session is appended to the media at the end of the previous
session. Each appended session has separate backup and error logs.
If you want to overwrite the data on the media, enter NO. The media
rewinds and existing data is overwritten by the next backup.
HINT: Labeled media is not considered empty media. No sessions are necessary
on the media for you to set the Append option to Yes.
Delete the log and error files for any session you overwrite to avoid trying to restore
a session that no longer exists.
13 Press Enter to save the settings and continue with the backup.
WARNING: To append a backup session to a media set (two or more tapes), use
the tape with maximum space.
14 To return to the Main Menu, press Enter and then press Esc until you back
out to the Main Menu.
15 To exit SBCON, press Esc again and answer the confirmation prompt.
