And remember – when you duplicate images
the retention period starts from the beginning
e.g. a retention period of 1 year starting
in may is duplicated in august will only expire in august the following year
so if you are scripting the work you may
want to check the image retention and modify it when duplicating the image
If I remember correctly NetBackup wont
allow you to duplicate the image between media servers – this ensures the traffic
is localises to the systems SCSI busses as popped the NW.

help with mass tape copy
If you have all the tapes in the library, or at least
all the tapes that the images span, then yes, NBU will work it all out for you.
If not you'll have to get tapes in quickly. This is what Ed was alluding to
with "a lot of groundwork".

thanks
Rob, i can configure drives on the same server.
does anyone know that if there's a backup image
that spans multiple tapes if netbackup will be smart enough to know the change
in tapes even if i'm not copying the multiple tapes at the same time?
