And if you aren't sure you are ready for vault today
(meaning that you would be in the future) you could
take a look at my duplication scripts which has a
section in there where it creates a nbu db tape for
offsite purposes.
Vault does a much better job of tracking which tape you
used for the db backup. I'm in the process of
deploying my scripts at another client and I'll be
updating the nbu db backup section to properly track
the tapes it uses, etc.
Just my two cents.
