Hello all,
I have a Netbackup 7.6 running on a Windows 2008, my tape library is attached to the storage and run backups only of it.
I have a weekly catalog backup running from my D$ to my F$ drives and everything is running fine, I just wanted to besides my catalog backup to F$ drive also to copy to a tape, rather to use the same tape every week.
How can I do it?
Thank you in advance.

Configure Staging schedule in the Storage Unit for your policy.
I have mentioned Disk Staging in the post that you marked as Solution over here:
I have also said in that post that once a week is not enough.
If you only have one tape in CatalogBackup pool, only one tape will be used for duplication.
Double check retention level in the policy - NBU will append to tape (similar to new image written on disk).
PLEASE download the manual that I have referred you to and start reading!

mulitple ways
1) you can configure another catalog backup to tape ( if your catalog is large i dont recomment it)
2) configure the duplication for the catalog backup that you took to F drive
this duplication you can configure in multiple ways..
if F is configured as basic disk
1) DSSU
2) inline tape copy
3) vault
if it other than basic disk
you can also use SLP to do the duplications..

I have set up the staging schedule and everything ran really fine :) Thank you!
But, it used two tapes and I would like to use only one tape (the odd thing was that the second used tape remained on scratch volume pool, is it normal?)
How do I do to this job use only one tape? (the one that I have already assigned for this)
Here are some configuration:
