The best way that comes to mind is backing up to the disk storage unit, 
then later
running a duplication process from the disk storage unit to the tape 
storage unit.  This
is easily scripted with bpduplicate and once the duplication is successful, 
you can manually
expire the images from the disk storage unit.
