Dear NetBackup experts,
I am trying to bpduplicate from disk to tape (NetBackup 3.4 Solaris 8)
and getting error 96 - unable to allocate new media for backup.

At the moment the only tape drive is running backup, but I expect the
duplicate to use the same tape.
The backup I am trying to duplicate is of the same type which is
currently running, so I can't understand why backup and duplicate
can't share the same tape. I run 2 simalteneous backups on this tape
drive every night.


Thank you,
Andrey
