This has two effects:
-
It enables MULTIBUF
to distinguish between the end of a file on the
tape, like e.g. the end of the archive or contents directory, from the
physical end of the tape. If you disable this switch, MULTIBUF
will
ask you whether to continue with the next medium whenever it detects
an end of file. So you have to explicitly tell it ``NO'' after it has
read the contents directory or after having read all the archive!
-
It writes some sequence information to the tape and thus prevents you
from using your tapes in the wrong order.
Usually you should not switch off this option. Only when reading old
(KBACKUP
1.0 and 1.1) single volume archives, you must switch
this off!
