    As long as the storage units (of any type) are in the same NetBackup domain (i.e. managed by the same NetBackup Master) then you are free to "duplicate" as you see fit, either via GUI or CLI... and so... one media server will act as source, and send/duplicate over the network, sending to another media server acting as receiving target - i.e. the source and target storage units do not need to be owned by the same individual media server.

    If the storage units are both MSDP (or if both are of the same few other supported types) but are in different NetBackup domains, then you can "replicate" from the CLI.

    Can you give us a bit more information?

    Which type of 'Openstorage' STU?
    If it is not MSDP, then images will be rehidrated during the operation.

    You may want to look at bpduplicate to duplicate images from CLI or script - there are more options than in the GUI, and lots of discussions and examples here on VOX.

    Thank You Marianne !

    Definitely I'll have to use scripts, because the amount of images is very high.
