Copying data from one tape to other tape
I have 2 tapes each of 1600GB capacity, one is 990GB (000093) full and other is only 20GB (000056) occupied, I need to copy this 20GB data to other tape which is 990GB occupied.

Hi,
First of all you'll need to check what the retention level is for each image. Unless you have allow multiple retention levels configured for your environment NetBackup will not place images with different retention levels on the same media. This might be why they're on different media currently.
So assuming that the above is satisfied then you'll have to ensure that the 990GB media is the only option available when you initiate the duplication job. This might mean removing all the other media from that pool (and the scratch pool) from the robot before you start.
Its possible but really a pain to try and do regularly.
Why do you want to do this?
