Re: Duplicate the Tape
If you have enough disk space you can mount the tape (MOUNT tapedrive label or MOUNT tapedrive /OVER=ID) and copy the contents to the disk with:
$ COPY tapedrive:*.* [.tmpdir]
You can do thate even if the tape was writen with backup (backup save sets are normal files). When done dismount the tape and
init a new tape:
$ INIT tapedrive label
$ MOUNT tapedrive label
$ COPY [.tmpdir]*.* tapedrive:
If you do this from system user be aware of your default directory (see thread http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=678898 )

Re: Duplicate the Tape
Bojan's hints is unique solution I know. Remember you can read a tape a disk so you can see how large is your saveset.
$ MOUNT tape /OVER=ID
$ DIR tape:[000000]*.*

Re: Duplicate the Tape
There is a hp product Save Set Manager which can do this sort of thing. There are also freeware tape copy programs available from the usual places.

Re: Duplicate the Tape
be careful copying saveset from tape to disk or vice versa. This can end up with problems.
HP has a product on OpenVMS to copy savesets from/to tape: Save Set Manager

Re: Duplicate the Tape
Everyone else has assumed that your tape contains one or more backup savesets or other files with ANSI standard headers.
I suppose that is the most likely kind of tape to encounter, but is it what you actually have?
The other possibility would be a tape written in some format without the usual ANSI labels, which would most likely have been written while mounted /FOREIGN. In this case your only choice may be a utility like the tapecopy that labadie mentioned.
