[Veritas-bu] Question with bpduplicate.

Justin -

NetBackup keeps track of the Primary Copy.  All restores are performed from 
this Primary Copy.

In order to perform restores from another copy (not always number 2...), you 
need to change the Primary Copy to the other copy number.  One way to do this 
is with the following command :
        bpduplicate -npc <new primary copy> -backupid <backup id>

Or you could use this command :
        bpimage -npc <copy #> -backupid <backup_id>

You can check your Primary Copy number by running bpimagelist -L -backupid 
<backup id> and looking for the phrase "Primary Copy:".  The phrase "Number of 
Copies:" will tell you how many copies you have.

After you run bpduplicate on a backup image, server_12029394 etc and
it dupes the tapes to another set, where/how do you restore from the
second set of duplicated tapes?

When I go to the client in restore mode, I only see the originals
backup image (with original tapes), thanks.
