Remarks

The backup medium for a backup or restore operation is specified using either the Devices, Files, Pipes, or Tapes properties. Only one medium type can be specified for any backup or restore operation, but multiple media may be specified.

Set the Pipes property to specify one or more named pipes as the backup medium. Specify more than a single named pipe to stripe the backup operation or to restore from a striped backup set. For more information, see Using Multiple Media or Devices.

For more information about setting multistring parameters, see Using SQL-DMO Multistrings.
