The only thing I know that NBU can duplicate is a backup image.  The
Celerra images are already on tape, so duplicating them doesn't get them
on the Netapp filesystem, it just gets them on another tape.

During duplication, NBU doesn't need to interpret the content of the
images (like using 'cp' on an encrypted file).  During restore,
something does have to understand it.
