    This shold be possible.  It maybe an adhoc process as new media (virtual media) is replicated, the remote BE server doesnt' know about it.

    So you would have to inventory the media, and then duplicate to tape.

    This is why CASO and OST becomes so valuable...  So that there are no adhoc processes, and things are automated and tracked ;-)
