Views to help manage migration of all images to new library and tapes?

WR:

Seen that. And that works just fine, but it is exactly what I tried to describe in my original post:

1. As far as I'm aware, you can only search for a particular copy of an image at one time. And as I said, our copy numbers are not consistent in any way b/c of a mix of tape/disk (SLP, DSSU, Falconstor, etc) and various retentions. So, that makes search difficult. I would be a little easier if there was
2. Plus, with 320 LTO3 tapes, about 1600 images, the above-referenced issue with copy numbers, and the fact that there are 2 copies on (many of which are fragmented on more than one media), the ability to search in the catalog and get the necessary info is limited and becomes a multi-step, tedious process. You can do the math but that's alot of searching and clicking just to expire the old images, let alone duplicate them.
3. Lastly, failed duplications which will invariably happen for a variety of reasons. and keeping track of individual backup IDs for failures is another issue that could complicates catalog searches as 
4. if there was a way to add "volume Pool" to the columns in the Catalog search, that would help me
5. And if there was a way to search or view "all copies" in a Catalog search, that would help too.
6. And since I'm running regular backups at the same time, this project will takes months probably, and I'll have a mix of duplicated images and non-duplicated images during that time.

One thing I did come up with this morning. It required some work up front (like a couple hours), but after that it should work pretty well.

1. I used the "Images on Media" and exported a report on every image.
2. I opened it in Excel as a comma deliminated file so then I had the info in colums.
3. I used a concatenate function to create a new column that included BackupID, Copy#, and Tape#.
4. Then I sorted by this new column.
5. I then used the "Remove Duplicates" function (referencing this column only), which got rid of all of the extra lines that were created by fragmented images from multiplexing (this was 1000's of rows).
6. Now I had a managable list to parse through manually or use filters to identify what was already duplicated, etc.
7. And since it's a spreadsheet, I can edit it as I go. And I created a second worksheet to which I move images as they are done duplication and expiration.

I'm really surprised there's no command or something in the GUI to simply duplicate then automatically expire. Or at least a single place to view AND manage all copies of an image. Hopefully I'm missing something............
