Duplication of multiple jobs

What I have are 4 different jobs for various different backup types (data files, email, SQL, HR). These are backed up to disk in four different directories correlating to the backup type it is. What I am looking to do is at the end of the week duplicate the weekly backup to tape. Does someone know of a way to duplicate multiple jobs to tape?

Your help is appreciated!

You should be able to do this by selecting "New job to duplicate Backup sets" and then select "Duplicate existing Backup sets" this will allow you to select the catalogs which you want to duplicate but make sure you change "device and media" to your tape device.

Hope this helps.

Yes I get that much, but that is a manual process. What I would like is to automate it so that the jobs kick off, finish, then the duplicate job runs to write them to tape.

In that case you could use the second option which is to "Duplicate Backup sets following a job" you can also schedule these jobs so that it is not a manual process.

Everything everyone has mentioned so far has been for duplicating a single job. Is there a way to AUTOMATE the duplication of multiple jobs.

Example: I have jobs A, B, and C run at the end of the week. Can I configure job Z to run after those complete to duplicate jobs A,B, and C to tape?

AFAIK, you cannot stack them all on the same tape, but as long as you have an autoloader, create the template to duplicate after the B2D, then let the second and third queue up and have BackupExec start them after the first finishes, pulling scratch tapes as needed
