I have backup exec 2010 R3 and currently backing up to disk nightly. I would like to copy the disk backup to tape in the working hours. The question is: What are the files that I should copy to the tape using Backup Exec? I notice this bit of information in the backup report:
All Media Used
B2D000017
IMG000064
B2D000016
IMG000065
B2D000014
IMG000066
B2D000010
Are these the files and folders only that contain the backup?

You should not just simply copy any .bkf and .img files. They are part of a bigger scheme of things. You should always use a job to duplicate them to some other media. See this document
Reasons why copying backup to disk data files is NOT recommended.

Hi
You should be copying both the bkf & IMG files, oout which IMG are the one which hold your GRT information for backup. BKF files would hold backup of other flat file or non grt information
Thanks

Instead of doing it manually & deciding what files to copy, simply set up a duplicate job which would duplicate the disk backup sets to tape..you can schedule the duplicate job, add it to a policy, so on...
