BE2010R3 - Is there a way to build a job using both disk and tapes?

I'd like to build a GFS backup job that uses backup to disk for the daily differentials and write to tape for fulls.  Is this do-able?  Would it just be better to build the GFS job to write everything to disk and then have a duplicate job that copies the full to tapes?  If so, how would you specify it to rotate (the tapes) for the weekly's and monthly's?

Figured this out. Used a GFS policy which also contain a duplicate job that copies the full backups to tape.  Seemed to be the best way to do it. Not sure if that's true...but...that's what I came up with.

You've worked it out, but that is exactly how it gets done!
