Randy,
Today there is probably not a better way. Next year Veritas NetBackup 4.1
will have an inline tape duplication feature that will allow you to perform
a dual write (to two different pieces of media). This will be a powerful
feature, but will require more tape drives.
You basically have two choices today if duplication will not get the job
done.
1. You can subscribe to a offsite valting company that can get you a
tape back quickly for restores
2. You can move your backup server offsite so that all of your backups
are instantly offsite

Importance: High
I am a new Netbackup administrator and I have a couple of questions
about tape management. My company has implemented Netbackup in the Unix and
NT environment. They have asked me to make sure that each nights backups are
available to send offsite and that we keep a local copy for onsite restores.
I do not have the available backup window to run separate jobs for onsite
and offsite storage so I am thinking I must use the tape duplication
feature. My problem is that duping the many tapes we have each day is a very
time consuming task, there has to be a better way! Can anyone steer me in
the right direction? Is there some way to automate this task? Is this what I
should be doing at all? Thanks for your help.
