Hi,
1 of 2 ways:
1. If you have a library with 2 drives (or even 2 stand-alone drives), then run a Duplicate job which can be setup easily. Simply duplicate the data from tape 1 to tape 2, and then you can erase the tape.
2. If you don't have the hardware in #1, then you need to restore the data to disk. Once done, put in the 2nd tape and then back it up before erasing the tape.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot.
What duplicate will do, it will copy data from source tape to destination tape or tape to disk then tape?

Either or...duplicate the data from tape to tape, or duplicate from tape to disk, and then to tape...
