NetBackup does not duplicate tapes. It only duplicates images.
Use bpimagelist to determine the names of the images on the tapes.
Then use bpduplicate to make copies of the images on a new tape.

Hello all,

I am working with Veritas Netbackup 4.5 Data Center and I'm faced with a
problem.
We have a pack of written tapes (multiplexing mode use when backing up)
that contain only a few kb of data.
As we are running out of tapes, I'd like to know how it is possible to
duplicate the content of one MEDIA to another specific MEDIA ID,
without erasing what has already been backed up ?

For instance :

images on :
MEDIA001 : server A image volume 7kb
MEDIA001 : server B image volume 8kb
MEDIA002 : server C image volume 5kb

I aim to get all images from MEDIA001 onto MEDIA002, that would enable
me
ton get theses images on MEDIA002 :

MEDIA002 : server A image volume 7kb
MEDIA002 : server B image volume 8kb
MEDIA002 : server C image volume 5kb
Total data volume on MEDIA002 : 20kb

then being able to scratch MEDIA001 tape

First I was thinking of bpduplicating command, but it won't give me the
result needed.

Thank you

David
