according to this site, it should be prohibited.

But using Powershell doesn't check, if the tape is protected and just moves it to Media Pool Free using
Code: Select all
Move-VBRTapeMedium -Medium $tape -MediaPool "Free"
Code: Select all
ProtectedBySoftware
but thought I mentioned it, as I believe even in powershell an error should happen if you do something you shouldn't with a protected tape.
Probably I am wrong and it's by design
Thanks Patrick
