Migrating to Tape using Netbackup

Does anyone know of a method to manually initiate a migration to tape? I need to do some testing and the interface does not give much flexibility in doing a "run now" on the migration to tape process.

Thanks.

Migration to tape runs in the same thread as the collection run. So if you have a CAB file that is ready to be migrated and you do a run now of collector then your migration will take place.

As Paul said, the collection "Run now" button also initiates migration (after the collection runs). To add to that, you'll notice that the event log message will tell you not only how many files are collected, but how many are migrated as well. The event will have a description which contains something like this:
263 Saveset(s) were Collected into 4 Collection(s).
1 Collection(s) were Migrated to secondary storage.
