Using the Write-Protect Switch

All tape cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure of
data. When you enable write-protection, existing data on the tape cannot be
overwritten, nor can additional data be appended to the tape. When you disable
write-protection, existing data on the tape can be overwritten, and additional data
can be appended.

write-protect switch to the desired position.
