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).
