duplication has no location requirements in terms of 
source/destination storage unit, media server, media type, etc.

You could duplicate from an image written to a disk on a media server 
in NYC to an LTO tape owned by a media server in LA.

But if there would be two different media servers involved then you 
risk a slowdown going over the network.  I think most people try to 
keep their duplication activity local to one media server if at all 
possible.
