rob-
Your wordy email didn't really answer Kevin's question about "how to
re-vault an image"
Kevin, the answer to 1) depends on what you mean by re-vault...
To re-duplicate AND re-eject an image:
expire the second copy (using the catalog GUI or else `bpexpdate
-backupid <host_1234567890> -copy 2`) and rerun the vault profile
or
To just re-eject an image:
Put the vaulted tape(s) that contain this image back into the robot
and rerun the vault profile.
