MediaName Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The MediaName property provides informative text to aid in identification of a backup set.
Syntax
object.MediaName [= value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A string of no more than 100 characters

Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetMediaName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetMediaName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
The MediaName and MediaDescription properties are written to a tape medium when the medium is initialized.
