I would like to employ a strategy whereas my regular backups go to "Backup To Disc" media and then this media gets moved to DVD when appropriate; as follows:
Currently, i'm unable to move BTD media to vault (get an error) and a piece of the puzzle is missing; where/how is/does the BTD files get copied to DVD? I'm just getting into the doc and i suspect that i'll resolve this but i'd appreciate any heads-up info' anybody could give me.
Thanks,

See http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/286529.htm
You should be able to create DUPLICATE jobs to copy the data to the DVDs. Using DUPLICATE lets BackupExec keep track of the offloaded data, and lets you restore directly from disk rather than having to restore the BKF files, inventory, catalog and THEN restore the user data
Then rather than manually removing the data, set the OPP (Overwrite Protection period) for the media set(s) so that BackupExec can re-use the BKF files. Be sure from Tools\Options\Media Management that the option to "reuse overwriteable media in the target media set before scratch..." is selected rather than the default
