bpduplicate help.

We are moving to a colo and I need to get off of our physical tape library before the move. To do that, I need to get our offsite data to another storage unit in the cloud. I was going to use bpduplicate but I'm getting confused. With what understanding I have this is the command line I came up with. 

bpduplicate -npc -backupid <backup_id> -dstunit <storage unit in the cloud> -dp <pool name>

I'm not sure if I can use -npc with -dstunit so I can take the -npc out.

Would this line do what I want?

Thanks,

Dan

    npc stants for "new primary copy".
    Primary copy is the backup copy that netbackup will try to restore in case off restore. It is not a requirement for bpdulicate command to run.
    If you add it to the command, netbackup will change the primary copy to the cloud copy

      Thanks for the reply. I did know that and that is what I wanted, but will this syntax work?
