If they're run too closely together, it, for some reason, picks a new
tape - it must be a way to delays caused by mounting & positioning.
I've seen this in backups, too. On my third backup of the set, it
picked the first tape.
One way around this is to put a list of images to be backed up in a
file. Generate this as a first step. Then feed the list into
bpduplicate as a -Bidfile.
Your second email's question would be multiplexing two sets of images
onto a single tape. I don't think bpduplicate can do this.

Hi Guys,
Currently, i'm trying to use bpduplicate to duplicate my vaulted images
from VTL to Physical Tape.
When i ran the command for the 1st time, it manage to find the image
that i want to duplicate into TapeA (backupsize around 70GB).
The target volume pool is empty hence it will pick tapeA from scratch
pool and put in the target volume pool after the duplication is
completed.
However, after running the command second time with another client name,
it uses tapeB instead. I was wondering since tapeA is the only tape in
the volume pool and its media status is still Active, why nbu choose to
pick another tape from my scratch pool?
Btw, the command line that i trigger has the same storagunit, volume,
retention period. The only difference is the client name.
Anybody knows how can i reuse the same tape using bpduplicate?
