This is because, in NetWorker, you don't just mark the tape volume itself
as read-only; you have to mark the savesets that are on the volume as not
expiring, so you can keep them as well. And you mark the volumes as
read-only, so NetWorker won't try to add anything more to the tape.

That won't work in Windows, since there is no native "cat" command in
Windows.
This is close to an equivalent in Windows:
Make a text file of your volume names, one to a line. Then run this:
FOR /F "DELIMS=/" %%a IN (%nwpath%\tmp\Uniq-Daily-Volumes.txt) DO
(
@ECHO %%a
nsrmm -y -o readonly %%a
nsrmm -y -o manual %%a
)
Here, all the volumes listed in the file "Uniq-Daily-Volumes.txt" will be
marked read-only, and manual expiration. But you should also mark the
SSIDs as well, which would be another loop.
I have a Windows script that pretty much does this - finds all the SSIDs
are marks them, then marks the volumes as read-only and manual expiration.
Be happy to send it along, if you feel up to modifying it to your specific
needs. Mine takes 2 input files - one a list of the daily jobs, one a list
of the weekly jobs, along with a date range for each, and then finds all
the SSIDs in that range for the daily and weekly jobs, and sets the browse
and expiration dates. Then it marks the volumes that those SSIDs are on as
read-only.
It's what I do at month end.
