Not easily. You could mark all other volumes in the pool as read-only
temporarily. Or you could create a new pool for this one job.
Trying to write to a particular tape is not something that Networker
makes it easy to do. You can make it happen, but you'll likely be
fighting how it expects to do things.
Can I ask why you need a particular tape to be written to instead of
picking any tape from a pool?
