So an inlinecopy using the multiple copies of a schedule is recommended. Ok

Does any one then know how i can identify tapes used for just the second 
copy? I will be using a different tape pool, but currently find out 
which tapes have ran for weekly full with bpverify -p -hoursago -sl 
Weekly_Full, now i need to do that for my offsite stuff ( the second 
copy ) but on a daily schedule without identifying the daily tapes first 
copy.

Hope that makes sense

Cheers
Dave
