Steve,
I assume you are referring to VM:Backup making a PRIMARY
copy and a TWIN copy of each/some backup. I would need more information
... but generally, yes ... there are many shops doing what I think you want to
do. (You may need to implement VM:Tape COMMAND and/or ALLOCATE EXITs to
assist with this chore.)

Subject: and now a VM:Tape question
Steve, when we do nightly backups, we currently create two tapes, one for onsight the other for offsight. This is done with some feature of
VM:Tape, twinning, mirroring, something like that. Anyway, is there a way we can tell VM:Tape to put the offsite tapes into the I/O station
on the 3494 so the operator just has to open the I/O station and pull the tapes out?
If VM:Tape can't do that, is there a way, programmatically, to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Steve
