Backup sets missing on target tape following duplicate job, yet reports success

Chris_O_Hare
Level 3
Following a SUCCESSFUL tape to tape duplication of multiple backup sets (copying a single tape), the target tape is MISSING half the sets duplicated.  Cataloguing the target tape causes beengine.exe to crash.  The same things occur when I try duplicating the source tape again.  The missing backup sets are listed in the duplication job log.

The sets may be on the target tape, but if I CAN NOT catalog or restore them, what's the point?

Anyone else run into this problem?  What should I do? 

Background: Installed fresh v12 system about 2 months ago, replacing a v9 (we wanted the encryption), and brought in v9 tapes via fresh cataloguing.  We do full backups on the weekends for offsite, and incrementals during the week for onsite, using a dual drive tape library.  Project data gets archived on demand for long-term retention, and those backup sets are duplicated for offsite storage / redundancy.
