<And if I can, can one new tape hold multiple tape copies? That is, can I 
do a tape-to-tape copy of an old tape from 2005-09 onto a new blank tape, 
and then add the contents of 2006-02 onto the new tape that has 2005-09 on 
it, or is the tape-to-tape copy similar to an image copy? i.e., nothing 
else can be added to the new tape? >

Yes, you can use nsrclone to make a clone of a saveset (and you can change 
browse and retention time) and store it in a volume, then you can use the same 
volume to store another different clone. Networker don't let you save multiple 
instances of a same saveset clone in one volume.
