No, Vault can certainly send duplicates off site. In fact, prior to the advent of SLPs, most people duplicated images within Vault and sent those off site. (I've always theoretically preferred to send my originals off-site and promote my duplicates to be short on-site retention, which Vault can also do, but I've never walked into an environment already set up that way.) Just create the Vault within the robot where the duplicates are and specify the appropriate limitations (probably by volume pool in your case), skip the duplication step, perform the catalog backup (really, please, perform the catalog backup), and eject and generate reports.

I.e. I am busy implementing a VTL(with NDMP functionality) and utilising NBU Lifecycle management polices. As the VTL is equipped with NDMP Version 4 we are able to zone in physical drives on the backend of the VTL and pretty much setup NDMP STU's to write to these physical devices. The reason for this approach is that when we duplicate an image from a VTL volume to a physical volume the VTL becomes the data mover. I now want to setup a process on the volume group that the physical backend volumes reside in, however these volumes are filled with duplications and not backups. I am guessing , as new to vault, that you cannot vault duplicated images? Any suggestions would be helpful.
