    What you would look into doing is a duplicate job. What this does is basically copy your backup set to another medium (tape to disk; disk to tape; disk to disk; tape to tape etc).
    Set up your job to backup your resources. Once done, go into Job Setup --> New Duplicate Backup job Set,

    This should be what you are looking at doing. Do a test, and let us know how it goes.
