Kind of. "-set all", >1 set, and level 0 all together are a special case
that trigger the tape change prompt. I used to use it in that fashion when
it was originally designed.
You're right that it should be turn-off-able but isn't. noted...
For now if you don't want to edit, you could either:
- Put the directories you want on one tape together into just one set
rather than multiple ones
- Chain the sets like this:
flexbackup -newtape ; \
flexbackup -set <set1> -norewind -noerase ; \
flexbackup -set <set2> -norewind -noerase ; \
flexbackup -set <setn> -noerase
