Re: [Veritas-bu] how to duplicate the tape

Hi
You really should at least have a look at the Commands manual to see all the
options available. That is how we all learned.
Why not use the GUI (Catalog -> Duplicate)? The Admin Guide also explains the
Duplicate option nicely. The main thing to remember is that you should always
duplicate to a different pool. The reason for this is that if same pool is used
and the source tape is not full, the SAME tape might be selected as the
duplicate destination!
I would possibly use this from cmd:
bpduplicate -id <media_id> -dstunit <destination_storage_unit> -dp
<destination_pool>
There are more options that you can use - if the original tape is multiplexed,
use '-mpx' to maintain multiplexing (duplicate will be faster than if you
de-multiplex). If you want the new copy to become the new primary copy, use
'-set_primary 1'.
Regards
Marianne
