You don't decide to restore from tape or not. Netbackup will lookup where data is located and restore from wherever data is located. If a backup image has multiple copies Netbackup will always restore from the primary image. If you want to restore from the secondary image you need to promote the secondary image to the primary image using the bpimage command.
