Ok, I got a list of backupids via the
bpimmedia command and created a bid file. When I run the bpduplicate command
against the bid file it comes back and tells me I already have 2 copies. I
know that I need to create a 3rd copy on the VTL. Below is the
bpduplcate command and a snippit of the output:
#
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpduplicate -v -dstunit
hqhp3-hcart-robot-tld-1 -M hqhp3 -Bidfile bid
Duplicate started Thu Nov 5

Activity monitor job id =
426056
INF - Skipping backup id
yos_sam1_1220260632, it already has 2 copies.
INF - found no images or
media matching the selection criteria

Any suggestions? I’m still poking around
but if someone can point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks

Duplicate from tape to VTL question
That's because NetBackup
doesn't duplicate tapes, it duplicates images. =)
Pull a list of all the backupids on the tapes through bpimmedia, dump that to a
file (known as a Bid file), then you can use that as the input to a bpduplicate
command to copy all of the images to another STU.
Once you've verified that all duplications were successful, you can expire the
copies of those backupids that live on those tapes and you're good.

We are in the process of installing and migrating to a
Datadomain VTL. We have a few tapes that have been duplicated and are
left in our tape library, these tapes are also all in their own volume
pool. I would like to duplicate / copy those tapes to the Datadomain
VTL. I’m looking at the bpduplicate command and don’t see an option to
copy using bar code labels or volume pool as a source. Can anyone out
there shed some light on how I can do this? An example of the command
line would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance..
