    I'm not sure if this is possible, but is NetBackup Vault capable of:

* taking a backup image on tape ABC123
* duplicating the image to some other volume (say ABC124)
* promoting the copy on ABC124 to primary
* automatically deleting the original backup on ABC123 so that my only
copy is the primary copy on ABC124

??

I know how to do the first three bullet points in Vault. It's that 4th
one that I'm stumped on. I don't even know if it's possible.

Just expire the images that are on ABC123 using bpexpdate -copy

The key thing to remember is that NetBackup doesn't like to manipulate tapes - it likes to manipulate images.
