Even if you set the write-protect tab on a tape cartridge, NetWorker may
still attempt to write to that tape if it is still appendable. I see no
advantage to setting the write-protect tab on cartridges that NetWorker
uses unless maybe you ship the tapes off-site for safe keeping. Setting
the tape volume as read only from within NetWorker seems adequate to me.
