Mainly splitting long sentences into smaller ones. Some rewording
happened in the process.

The changes should still transport the same information.

+WORM (write once, read many) tapes are special cartridges that cannot be

+Proxmox Backup Server makes no distinction between normal and WORM tapes. To
+avoid confusion, use a different naming scheme for WORM backups and use
+dedicated media pools for them. Do not mix WORM and non-WORM tapes in the same
+media pool.
 
-Proxmox Backup Server does not handle WORM tapes differently, so it is
-recommended to use a different naming scheme, use only seperate media pools
-and not mix WORM and non-WORM tapes in a media pool together (since it may
-lead to confusion about which tapes are not overwritable).
