[Veritas-bu] Duping a Database Backup

There's no way of duping the db tape (well, you can I'm sure with dd or the
like), but rather it is best to create a db backup tape after your dupe set
is done and send that off with the set.

I do it through scripts, my duplication scripts are up on my website,
xbpadm-commands.com.

I'm trying to determine the best way to duplicate a database backup tape to
be sent off-site for disaster recovery.
Is anyone out there doing this?  If so, would you please share your process?
Thanks.
