The following are the limitations for WORM tape:

• Third-party copy backups are not supported with WORM media.

• NetBackup does not support resume logic with WORM tape. NetBackup fails a job that uses WORM media and then retries the failed job. Alternatively, if checkpoint and restart are used, NetBackup restarts the job from the last checkpoint. Symantec recommends that you use checkpoint and restart for backups.

• WORM tape is not supported with NetWare media servers.
