    If these are SLP, and the SLP did not complete, you cannot duplicate the first image.

    run

    nbstlutil inactive -wait -backupid image101_1425548649

    nbstlutil cancel -wait -backupid image101_1425548649

     

    Then retry the duplication.

    Partially completed SLP cause error 191 when you try to duplicate.

The issue is the bpduplicate will not duplicate anything to any new media. I know I just have to duplicate them, but why will it not actuall copy those images to another tape?

The job runs, fails with status 191 no images processed, presumably because it thinks copy 1 already exists. Looking into this particular media more and the images on it, those policies actually skip the disk target and write directly to tape, then we dupe that copy to this primary pool(all as primary copies) for on-site storage. The original tape gets vaulted. So for all these images I think there should only be 2 copies (1 on the vaulted media, one on this tape). So, why will it not allow be to create a 3rd copy and set it to primary?
