Is there a way to Disable Tape Spanning?

[Brian_Tirado]

Is there an option to turn off Tape Spanning?  I would really like my backups to fail instead of having them continue to another days tape if someone happens to put a new tape and the job is over the capacity of one tape.

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of.

Thanks for the reply.

Well, you could create one slot partitions on your loader, and point your jobs to different partitions.  when the one tape fills up, the job will prompt for a new tape.  reply "cancel" to the prompt
