Remarks

If TRUE, Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 attempts to continue processing on a partial backup or restore operation.

If FALSE, SQL Server restarts an interrupted backup or restore operation at the beginning of the backup set.

Set the Restart property only when a user action or system error interrupts backup or restore processing.

Important  When using the Restart property, the backup or restore operation specified by the object used must match the originally specified operation in all particulars. Do not set any other properties for the object when setting the Restart property.
