Tape Backup Question

[flavor4real]

Hello guys,
how is it going ...
My question: I have VBK's/ VIB's getting distributed onto 3 mapped Raw LUN's, each of them has 2TB of total space and `50% is used by the backed up data. Veeam Backup Job's running on schedule from every 3 hrs to every 6 hrs, or once a day (depending on the backup job).

I'm concerned of backup files being created by Veeam and then in the same time having NetBackup pulling these files to backup-on-tape. Is it recommended to File copy these backup files to another location and then have the NetBackup application accessing this data for backup-on-tape? Or, is it alright just work from the original?

thanks
