I assume you mean, by "local disk", disk that is local to your media
server(s), not your client.
You'll probably have to make a different policy because the client list is
part of the policy. Storage units, disk or tape, can be assigned to a
schedule but the client list is global to the policy. If you want to treat
these clients differently, they'll have to be in their own policy.
Once on disk, you can use bpimmedia to list the images on this disk storage
unit's filesystem, then feed this list into bpduplicate via a bidfile to
duplicate it to tape.
You can then expire the copy on disk with bpexpdate (make sure you use the
-copy switch). Be sure that the duplication took place successfully first
before you expire the disk image. Once the disk image is expired, the tape
copy automatically becomes your primary copy for restore purposes.
Yes, the your plan is doable. I do it myself.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] backup to disk then to tape?
Hi
I have serveral hosts that need to be backup through a WAN link.
Since backup are too slow, I would like to backup first to go to local disk
storage unit and write it to tape.
I don't want to create two seperate policy:
1. WAN link to media server disks.
2. media server disks to tape.
Restore is a big problem.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
