NB 5.1 MP3 W2K Master & Media servers.

I've got a couple clients that write their primary copy to disk. There
are a couple different policies that do this. We've got an early am
off-site requirement that precludes waiting until we run our am vault
eject profiles to do the duplication.

So, what we've done is create a policy that calls for/runs a vault
profile that runs the duplication from disk to tape. It is scheduled to
ensure it will run after the jobs that write to disk have completed.

We will be keeping the tapes off site longer than the job history is
maintained in the activity monitor. The issue I've identified is that
since the policy does not write to the tape (it's the vault process that
actually writes to tape), the recovery report does not show what tape
was used for the policy/client.

The duplication job will show the tape(s) used in the activity monitor
until they roll off. I thought to narrow it down by using a unique
volume pool for those jobs, but it still wouldn't identify what tape you
needed for a specific policy client, and if we increase the number of
policies/clients being backed up to disk in this manner, the unique pool
method would be too much to sort through.

My question is: How can we generate a report to be included with the
off-site tapes to identify the tapes created by the duplication process
as described above?
