What does the parameter @with = 'SKIP' in the LiteSpoeed backup scripts indicate?
N/A
The SKIP parameter is defined as:
The noskip|skip option tells SQL Server whether to recognize ANSI tape labels that mark expiration dates and permissions for the tape.
This is a SQL Server parameter, used in conjunction with LiteSpeed.
{NOSKIP| SKIP }
Controls whether a backup operation checks the expiration date and time of the backup sets on the media before overwriting them.
NOSKIP
Instructs the BACKUP statement to check the expiration date of all backup sets on the media before allowing them to be overwritten. This is the default behavior.
SKIP
Disables the checking of backup set expiration and name that is usually performed by the BACKUP statement to prevent overwrites of backup sets. For information about the interactions between { INIT | NOINIT } and { NOSKIP | SKIP }, see "Remarks," later in this topic.
To view the expiration dates of backup sets, query theexpiration_datecolumn of the backupset history table.
