I have some images that normally have a 5 week retention period but I have a 
need to keep them around for a while longer. Because I'm tight on space in my 
library, merely changing the expiration date will not serve my purpose. The NBU 
Systems Administrator's Guide indicates "It is possible to duplicate from one 
server to another" as long as the original is in a drive on the server that 
owns the tape. I would like to duplicate a couple of images from one NBU Master 
to another NBU Master that resides in a different physical location. They are 
both on the same network.

Has anyone ever done this before? What pitfalls should I be looking at? The 
book is not intuitively obvious on how to set up this scenario using the GUI so 
I'm guessing I will be using the bpduplicate command but that's all I've 
figured out so far.

Anybody out there have any advice that has done this before? I sure could use a 
sample command. It looks like I have to execute the command on the target 
server pointing to the source host that owns the images to be duplicated.

Somebody throw me a bone.

Regards,
Dennis
