I'm guessing you mean something like Inline tape copy, but during the
2nd stage of DSSU where the staging unit is duped to tape?

I was wondering the same thing myself.....currently letting it dupe to
tape, then using vault to duplicate the tapes.

Don't like it much, and would prefer to write to two tapes at once.

I haven't seen the stagiung unit's multiple-copy option.....would be
interested in that, for sure.
