Sorry Adam, if this double posts to your account. I can't tell if this list
receives my replies.
When starting a restore from the Java Gui (NBU) the results will tell me
what media id it needs. Since this is starting bpduplicate, I think you
should be able to use bpduplicate to tell you ahead of time what tape it
needs. Look at the options for bpduplicate
