WORM Tapes
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
WORM (write once, read many) tapes are special cartridges that cannot be deleted
|
||||
or overwritten, which may be useful for legal or protection purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
Since they cannot be overwritten or deleted, if you want to use them, you must
|
||||
use a media pool with a retention policy of `keep`, otherwise a backup job
|
||||
potentially fails when trying to erase or overwrite it.
|
||||
|
||||
Proxmox Backup Server does not handle WORM tapes differently, so it is
|
||||
recommended to use a different naming scheme, use only seperate media pools
|
||||
and not mix WORM and non-WORM tapes in a media pool together (since it may
|
||||
lead to confusion about which tapes are not overwritable).
