I'm not, but can tell you it's probably not a good idea - you'd end up
with extra wear and tear on your tape drives, as well as greatly reduced
performance while the target tape drive waited for data to be read from
your source tape drive(s).

I do a weekly full to do disk, then 3 x daily incremental to disk, and
then a virtual full to tape every night (for DR purposes). Disk space is
cheap, and you could easily build a disk array that could keep your
tapedrive fed with data for much less than the cost of another tape
drive (and tapes).
