Acually, it doesn't matter what tape it's on.  Use the "bpduplicate" command
with the "-backupid" option and just dup the image, not the tape number.  NB
will take care of mounting the source tapes for you.

To find the last full backup image (one week search depth):
bpimagelist -client <clientname> -st FULL -hoursago 168 | awk '{print $8}' |
sort | tail -1

Note: this assumes you have only one image that you're looking up.  If
you're doing multi-stream backups you will have multiple images that
represent this one full backup.  You will have to alter this command.

Make a file full of the images to be duplicated and use
bpduplicate -Bidfile <filename> to duplicate them or 

bpduplicate -backupid <image_id> to duplicate only one image.

If you still want a list of the source tapes, you can use "bpimagelist
-media" to get it.

I'm looking for programs that will help me do the following:

Find the last Full backup of a particular client, and find out
what tape(s) it is stored on. I've been poking through what's
available to me, but I'm not turning up anything.

Once I have that info, I'll use that to demultiplex the backup
to a single tape for offsite storage.

Any help? (or prewritten scripts? ;)

Thanks,
