Hello.
I'm doing full backups monthly on tapes and differential/incremental on 
an HD meanwhile.
I finally convinced my customer that tapes need to be brought outside 
their building, so they decided to make two copies, bring one outside 
and leave the other at hand in case it's needed.

What's the best way to do this?

I thought of defining two storage pools and running the job twice (once 
on each one), but this ain't that perfect: they are going to be slightly 
different copies, and they both will count as base for subsequnt 
differential/incremental backups.

I could do the job and then dd from tape to HD and from HD to the second 
copy. This is going to be very slow, but, apart from that I don't see 
any real drawback, provided I don't insert a "copy" tape, when it's 
original one has been purged. (What would happen in that case, I don't 
know).

Other hints?

  bye & Thanks
        av.
