    Hi,

     

    You'd need to add a duplicate-to-tape stage after your jobs complete for your main B2D jobs. This will automatically duplicate those files to tape and keep the catalogs intact. You need to do this as just a straight backup would render your restores from tape almost null and void.

    You might want to then create a backup job for the Robocopy files to run first and set the Append/OPP settings correctly to allow the D2T job to run properly.

    Thanks!
