You have a few ways of doing this.

You can mark a tape "read-only".  It will not use this tape for writing
(unless you later turn off the read-only flag).

nsrmm -o readonly <volume>

You could also mark it "full", even if it's not.  This has a similar
effect to readonly.

nsrmm -o full <volume>


You could also create separate pools.  Make 7 pools, and use one of them
each day.  Then any tape used one day won't be used the next, but you
can still let the tape fill up.
