Yes. we call it 'duplicate'.

the easiest way is to use the Catalog utility in the NBU Admin Console.

You can find step-by-step instruction in NBU Admin Guide I under this topic: Duplicating backup images

If you need more information, please help us understand what exactly you need to do, including OS on your backup server and NBU version.

Yes - bpduplicate.

LOTS of switches and parameters to choose from.

Best is to read through the documentation, look at the example and then work out your cmd. 
(Trial and error is what normally works for me because this is not a command that I use every day).

See http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO43654

To copy all images from one tape to another, remember to specify a different pool (see above TN for explanation), e.g. 

bpduplicate -id <media-id> -dstunit <destination_stu> -dp <destination_pool_name> 
to preserve multiplexing, add '-mpx'.


If you want to duplicate to a specific tape, create a new pool and put the tape in the new pool.

Hope this helps!
