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?
