Allow Backups to Span Media

This property appears for master and media servers only.

The Allow Backups to Span Media property allows backups to span more than one media. If the end of media is encountered and this option is not selected, the media is set to FULL and the operation terminates abnormally (applies to both robotic and nonrobotic drives). By default, Allow Backups to Span Media is checked and backups can span media.

The Allow Backups to Span Media setting corresponds to DISALLOW_BACKUPS_SPANNING_MEDIA in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
