By "disk staging" i guess you mean "Backup to disk" then to TAPE?
Backup Exec has a feature called Duplicate Backups which can perform the backup of resources to "DISK" first and then to the "TAPE".
Please refer to the below section for more information:
You can create a job to duplicate backup data, selecting either to duplicate existing backup sets or to duplicate backup sets immediately following a scheduled job.
If you select to duplicate existing backup sets, the backup sets you select from catalogs are read from the source media and written to the selected destination, such as a drive, drive pool, or backup folder. You can schedule when this type of job runs.
If you select to duplicate backup sets following a job, you select a scheduled backup job as the source. That backup job runs first, and then the backup sets it created are copied to the destination you selected for the duplicate job. To duplicate backup sets following a job, the backup job must be scheduled to run and must not be associated with any other duplicate jobs. You cannot schedule this job; instead, the duplicate job runs only after the related, or linked, backup job completes.
Please refer to the technote below on how to create duplicate backup JOB:
