    See my comments below:

    Prod site:

    Backup 

      Duplicate (to tape)  
    Duplicate to tape on Prod site with catalog updates about tape image on Prod site. 
     

      Replicate 
    Replicate of dedupe disk image to remote dedup disk.

     

    DR Site:

    Import
    Import of catalog info of replicated disk image.

    So, at this point the DR site has no knowledge of duplicate tape at Prod.
    Dedupe disk image is the ONLY known image at DR site.
     

    You can only restore from disk at DR.

    If you want a tape at DR, you need to do another duplication at DR that follows import of replicated disk image.
    Or import the tape brought from Prod.

Hi,

Yes, just setup the AIR and it is to verifythe second copy can be restored from tape. The current issue faced is i cant see the backupid from the tape after I do the intial import. 

It is not listed in "Catalog>verify". However it listed in the log file and under the "results" tab. Its there any step needed to be done to view the backupid.

The tape consists of :

a. backup images direct to tape

b. Backup images backup to disk, duplicate to tape.

The issue is only backup images direct to tape is listed.

Thankyou
