Duplicate backup job must be your preferred method compared to "backup of backup". the simple reason that duplicate backup would be a direct restore and not a staged restore, ulike "backup of backup" method, where you would first stage it to disk and then restore from there. So, duplicate backup method was designed primarily to help you create a new backup set and discard the old one and continue to perform the restore from the new set, without staging it during restore. In your setup, policy can be used to configure backup job. You can create a duplicate job either to duplicate existing backup sets or you can have a duplicate backup job, follow an existing scheduled job. If you use the second method, you dont need to modify the duplicate job, every time you want it to be run. You can use following document to understand policy based duplicate job:

For duplicate jobs outside a policy, this document may help:

Please mark it a solution, if this is useful.

Now back to using templates for the backups to tape and disk. I believe that I have found how to get what I need with them.
Since my "cycle" is a full week, it takes a while to determine if I really have it set up correctly.
One question on templates, I don't seem to be able to set an "automatic cancellation" time on them? Is that not available for template/policy jobs?
Thanks.
