I cannot a way to manually duplicate specify backup from disk to tape.

You could first export a particular backup (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120) to a standalone backup, then use a file to tape job (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120) to copy it to tape.

Hello Carl,

You can clone the entire tape media to another tape media without restoring data to disk. Check this article for more details - Copying Tapes. Thank you!

Hi Dima,

Thanks for your reply. I am not going to copy the data from a tape to another tape.

I would like to duplicate the backup from disk storage to tape.

You can create a one time file to tape job, specify the needed files and tape those files once. Thank you!
