Is there any way to mark a tape temporarily in such a way that Duplication would not select it but it would still be available when restore did?


The best way would be to write the image to a disk staging storage unit - it's then available for restores as well as dupes at the same time.  The next choice would to be to write the image to a different media pool and schedule a manual duplication at a different time than your standard duplications.  I think either would solve your issue.

The one thing you have to watch out for is that you don't unnecessarily delay that duplication - after all, it's your production data that you're protecting.   Make sure that the duplications are still automatically scheduled so that nobody forgets about them.
