Two SLPs should be all you need to force dups to work the way you
want.
NY
backup to NY disk
duplicate to NJ disk [from NY disk]
duplicate to NY tape [from NY disk]
NJ
backup to NJ disk
duplicate to NY disk [from NJ disk]
duplicate to NY tape [from NY disk]
See "Adding a hierarchical duplication destination" in the NetBackup
Admin Guide. The indentation is the visual indicator of which backup,
copy or duplication will be the source. A duplication at the same
indentation level as multiple backup copies will use the primary copy.
There's a good diagram in the guide.
