Nevermind.
 
I read Jeff's problem as "backups" would **write** to a tape, but a duplication will select that tape as a **destination**.
 
Makes sense that he doesn't want the tape used as a source for duplication untill he's sure it won't confict with restores.

That is not a bug.  Suspending a tape does not prevent it from being read, only written to.
 
I would implement Ed's suggestion about the primary going to disk.  Of course you are probably talking about a gazillion bytes of data and you don't have the disk space for it.
 
You could also use inline tape copy to create 2 tapes, one for off site, one for restoring to your dev/accp.  Probably the safest solution.

Sounds like a bug to me.

 While suspending the tapes prevents them from being used by backups on the original host it does not prevent the duplication job from selecting the tapes to mount.
