You can query the contents of the tape with:

bpimmedia -mediaid <tapenum> | awk '$1=="IMAGE" {print $4}'

...to find out what's on it.

You can then copy the images with:
bpduplicate -backupid <backupid> -<other stuff>

Finally, expire the copy on the first tape with:
bpexpdate -d 0 -backupid <backupid> -force -copy 1

I've a tape that contains images with an infinite retention period; it
has been placed in a FROZEN state due to a media write error.  The tape
seems to read fine, but I'd like to get the good images off of it and
onto another tape.  Is there a convenient way to move the images from
the bad volume onto another good volume in the same volume pool?

-brian.
