I had setup the exact same type of backup policy (backup to VTL then use SLP to 
move the data to physical tape) and it worked great.  I was backing up 2 
servers from remote environments (about 80).  The VTL would suck all the data 
in (I had about 20 tape drives) through the course of the night. It was 
normally only 5 to 10 GB of data.  The duplication would be done by 9:00 AM 
most mornings.  Full backups (about 40 GB) would have their duplication done by 
10:30 to 11:00 AM.

If I remember, the SLP would start trying to duplicate the data within an hour 
of the backup finishing.  The 2 things that I found annoying were:
1.  It would create a separate duplication job for each image it had backed up. 
 Just cluttered up the activity monitor.
2.  I would see jobs gets "stuck" because the virtual tape was still in use by 
another backup.

This was under NBU 6.5.4 using a single Windows based master/media server.  I 
don't happen to work there any more so I can't give you the configuration 
details.  Just confirmation that what you are trying to do will work.  And 
probably accomplish exactly what you need it to.[/list][/list]
