So do you think my best bet would be to use this command?

Bpduplicate -dstunit xxxxx -cn 1 -class xxxxx -s xx/xx/xx -e xx/xx/xx -st
FULL -client xxxxx -L outputfilename -dp xxxxx -backupid xxxxx

Or do I not need the -client if I'm using -backupid?

Thanks,

Chris

Another thing to remember is that if you have multiplexing > 1 then you need
to use bpduplicate in order to de-multiplex a backupid. In this case you
should expect the duplication to take longer since nbu has to do more
processing to achieve the end result.
