You can let the normal job send the dumps to tape, and then
“vault” a copy back onto a “vtape” on disk (not your holding disk,
but that’s semantics).
That might suit your need.
I’ve done vaulting from a tape onto a disk area ….. moved the
disk area to another node, and vaulted again to copy it to a
different flavor of tape drive. So the very first part of my task
might suit you to a tee.
