Now that you know the easy way to do it (bpduplicate), it might be a
good time to reconsider your pool setup.
You have created this problem for yourself by having 2-month and 1-year
pools to separate your short- and long-term data onto different tapes.
NetBackup does that automtically, regardless of pool. There are a few
legal, contractual, operational reasons to use more than one pool;
retention level is not one of them.
