Actually, you mean you would have to either use bprecover (assuming you
know the media ID) or ..... IMPORT the tapes needed before doing it !!!

I know a company that went down this route..... and after I left......
well the array blew away and no one was monitoring the catalog
backups.... and no one knew what to do !

Oh dear !

Understood... I keep telling my management why not give me a 1 TB
mirrored drive in my backup master since disk is so cheap now a days..
Heck I'm running 1 and 2 TB drives at home in my NAS units with Raid 5.
Even some of my home systems have mirrored 1 TB drives for the OS.. 

Right now we are constaintly trying to delete logs and other
non-critical data from the Master just to get through a Weekend Full
backup. When you are addresing close to 19 TB's on a weekend and then
duplicating that same 19 TB's the catalog is going to get bigger...
