Copying Tape

[widget12]

Hi,
Is there a way of making a copy of a tape?
For example, backup ir run overnight, in the morning i can make a copy of it so myself and my collegue can both have a copy, just for extra security i.e tape getting damaged,fire,loss,theft etc. Running r11.1.

Thanks

open a command box, change directories to the ARCserve directory, enter the command tapecopy. That will dump the interal help file for tapecopy.exe.

If you do not have two tape drives then you can backup to disk via a FSD File System Device and then use tapecopy.exe to copy the backup from the FSD to two tapes.
