3 servers 1 tape library 2

[LMarie]

Ok here's my dilema. I currently have 3 ARCSERVE 11.5 servers, all 3 are used for D2D, only 1 has the tape library. I was told by the CA rep, that i would be able to do D2D2T from the 2 that do not have the library. I have not been able to figure out how to do this as of yet. I also have not found any documentation to support this. Can it be done, and if so how?
TIA,
LMarie

sorry LMarie, the CA rep was wrong. As far as I know this cannot be done

Has anyone heard if version 12 does this?

It can in fact be done via tapecopy.exe.
tapecopy supports FSD (File System Devices) as tape and remote servers.

David is right about using tapecopy. I guess you would like to consolidate all three FSD backups to one single tape or tapeset on the tapelibrary.
Go to Appendix B (or C) on the ARCserve 11.5 Administrator Guide and find out if tapecopy can accompish this,
