Excellent, so it sounds like I could be on the right track. Just posted
something else on the list about the amount of DSSU's I plan to use - please
check and add any comments.

I use the DSSU to backup WAN clients that are too slow to drive a tape
drive.
 
only 5 clients total about 100Gig for a full, so I've got about 150 Gig on a
DSSU to back those guys up.
 
my staging schedule runs every 2 hours from 8am to 6pm, Sunday to
Friday....just pops up, looks for images on DSSU that haven't been written
to tape, if it finds any, it dupes them, if it doesn't find anything new, no
harm.

Hi Paul
Many, Many thanks! I ended up using the GUI - I did use bpexpdate -backupid
and entered the backup id, however NetBackup stated "No Entity was found".
 
Yet, when done through the Catalog, it vanished fine!
 
I have also now increased my Disk Storage capacity and will perform a live
backup this weekend.
 
Will be creating a DSSU as well :-)
 
May I ask what purpose you use DSSU for, and what sort of capacity you write
to disk, and when you write to tape? Any sort of example would be good, just
to be sure I am on the right track and making the most of the DSSU facility.
