Dump version compatibility

Backup Server activates non-rewinding logic only if the label version on the tape is greater than or equal to 5. Therefore, to activate this logic, you must execute a dump command with the with init clause. If a dump without init is initiated onto a volume with a label version less than 5, you are prompted to change the volume, and the dump starts on the next volume. The label version of a multivolume dump does not change in the middle of the volume set.

Table 13-2 defines the label versions for which this behavior is enabled.
