We've made a new script for duplicating backup images quicker than we
are now by feeding the same script self made configuration files.  This
will allow for multiple duplications to happen at once and utilize all
of our new DLT drives we have, instead of doing it serially (or buying
bpvault).  I haven't put it in production yet, but I wanted to bounce
off of all you one part of my plan for implimenting it.

I plan on splitting off 3 new pools from our current 'Oracle' and
'NetBackup' pools.  This way backups won't be made to tapes in the same
pool, and there thus won't be any fighting/waiting for tapes during
duplication. 

Have any of you seen any issues in increasing the amount of pools?  Have
any of you implimented anything like this before?

If there is any interest in this script, I can email it to the list or
individually.
