[Veritas-bu] Duplicating tapes

You can duplicate tape more than once only if you first purge the Netbackup
database entry for the the other copy.  I remember it's the command 
"bpexpdate -copy 2".  However if you do that, the first duplicated copy
will NOT be recognized by the Netbackup anymore.    Unless you can read
that tape using other non-netbackup means, you still end up with one usable
copy.
  
Therefore, in practice, you can only duplicate an image once.  (This is true
in 3.2.  I don't know about 3.4)
