Support for WORM Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 tape libraries support WORM (write once, read
many) technology. WORM allows non-rewriteable and non-erasable
data to be written and provides extra data security by prohibiting
accidental data erasure. The WORM feature is supported whenever you
use WORM cartridges.
