What you need to do is to create a policy which a backup template and a duplicate template. You then link the duplicate template to the backup. After that, generate your backup and duplicate jobs with a selection list.

Here is what I have set up. please let me know if it makes sense and should work.
I have 2 jobs I created just as a regular job, a weekly full backup and a daily incremental. the weekly full backup runs on the second, third, forth and fifth Saturday. The daily runs Mon - Friday.
I also created a policy with 2 templates, one to run a full backup, just like my original job, and the second to duplicate that full backup off to the USB drive. The template rule also specifies to duplicate the backup sets creted by the first template. This policy is then set to run on the first Saturday of each month.
My desire is to run a full backup every saturday, and a daily each weekday. Then, the first saturday of the month, I want to duplicate that full backup to an external USB Drive and take that home. If something bad ever happens, I need to be able to bring that external USB drive back in, import it into Backup exec and restore from it.
Does that make sense? and will the above acomplish that?
Thank you for your help.
