Q404: [LTO - FAQ for computer tapes] : What is WORM?

WORM is an abbreviation of write once, read many. The third-generation Utrium format can be used as a new non-rewritable write-once data storage system, as well as existing rewritable computer tapes. Large amounts of data should be safely stored for a long time in accordance with laws and regulations governing information. By using a WORM-compatible drive and dedicated cartridge, you can use an LTO tape as a data backup system that is safe, tamper-proof and offer high-capacity storage. For the WORM compatibility of each Ultrium generation 3 drive, contact the media drive manufacturers.
