What I've done in the past is take enough tapes so that I have one for every
offsite backup set and give them the same label. I then use that label for
the catalog backup. When the backups are removed from the library, take out
that catalog backup tape and keep it with that backup set. Replace it with
another tape with the same label and you are set to go for the next round of
backups. The problem with this setup is that you need to devise a way to
keep all these catalog backup tapes separate from each other and always with
the backup set it goes with.

We also duplicate all our backups, but it seems that it's not possible to
duplicate a catalog backup.

Any other ideas on how we can let catalog backups go offsite ?

We dup all fulls (weekly,monthly, yearly) and send them offsite once a week
we do have some clients that don't require Dups on all there fulls so we
make
some adjustments to the dup_parms files.

What would be a good process to have daily catalog backups which can go
offsite ? The idea is to run a catalog backup after every daily or weekly
cycle and let the tape which was used for this catalog backup go offsite,
together with the normal backup tapes.
