Yesterday I ran a manual bpduplicate command to duplicate an image from one of
our dedupe units to tape.
This morning the job shows as completed successfully but bpimaglist for the
backup ID shows only Frag 1 (which is copy 1 on the Dedupe unit). For
duplication done by vaulting this command
Is the media actually seen as NU01L1 or just as NU01 in your media list in GUI?
All of our cleaning tapes are CLN###L4 on the label but the L4 is smaller
text and isn’t read as part of the media ID when inserted so they become only
CLN###. I’m wondering if this isn’t the same for your L1?
Actually even though you specify hcart_clean it marks it as HC_CLN.

bpflist can be used to show what files are in a given backup.
You can get a list of backup IDs by running:
bpimmedia -L -policy policy -d MM/DD/ hh:mm:ss -e MM/DD/ hh:mm:ss
|grep hostname_
The backup ID typically has hostname_ followed by epoch date number –
sometimes it isn’t

In fact you can install free Cygwin under windows which is a full Linux distro
that allows you to do almost anything you can do in a native Linux install.
