That sounds like complete garbage to me.  We have been using VTL
(Quantum DX100) since 4.5 and have had no issues at all with vaulting to
"real" tape.  Quite the opposite, it has helped our environment
tremendously.  We are on 5.1MP[45] for most of our stuff now.  What,
exactly, are you being told by Symantec?  There _are_ issues with how we
are trying to manage getting stuff expired, but that has nothing to do
with bpduplicate.
