Paul,
The vaulting in 5.0 does not allow images to be copied from a VTL to
tape. The option is in the software but it does not work. We have
confirmed this with Symantec that the vault was written for tape to tape
copies not for VTL to tape. Even though netbackup sees that virtual
tapes fine vault someone "knows" these are not real tapes and copy
process does not function.

Have you thought of using Netbackup Vault, or are you purposefully
trying to avoid the licensing costs?
 
with Vault, once you setup the policies, you'd schedule the duyplication
jobs just as you would a backup schedule.

        We are getting ready to use EMC CDL VTL solution. One thing we
see is that we need a script that will run everyday, possibility several
times a day to copy the images from the VTL tapes and write them to
physical tape. Does anyone have a script that does this? We need to
vault the images off the VTL to tape and will need a script using
Netbackup commands to do this part manually. How is every one that uses
a VTL getting those images off to tape.
