Duplicate to Tape only

[Gil_Emery]

Is it possible to schedule just a duplicate to tape job using Backup exec 15?

I have four jobs backing up five servers to disk, starting at seperate times.  I know that I can backup disk then duplicate to tape, but would like to schedule one job that just takes all the backups that were done to disk, then duplicate them to tape  (all on one tape...)

...not sure if this is possible. If these servers were in a policy then it should be easy enough.

So i have the multiple jobs,  but with each job there is a link to duplicate the job to tape.  I have the duplication starting at the time I think all the jobs are done so that it can duplicate "the most recent full backup" to tape.

I could not find a way to have a seperate duplicate to tape job...

The only way to run a separate duplicate is by selecting the backup sets manually. Here is an article for reference - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO98918.html#v60543528

If you want do duplicate multiple backup sets at one go, you would have to manually create the duplicate job each time.  There is no way to schedule such a job.  To create the duplicate job, in the Storage tab, right-click on the disk storage and select duplicate.  To select multiple backup sets, see my blog below
