                Thanks to Olle Eriksson, Bryan Lavelle, Tom Webster and
especially Peter Gergen, I found that tcopy works absolutely fine. The
command I used is:

                                tcopy /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /dev/tape/tape1_d0

                Thanks also to those who recommended "dd", but I did not
have to attempt that.
                --------------------------
                Original Problem:

                Dear Experts,

                We have a 2-node cluster with a similar tape drive on each.
As I can see both tapes drives from any of the nodes and I use "vdump" to do
backup, is there any command I can use to copy the "vdump" backup done on of
the tapes onto a tape on the other node's tape drive (effectively a
tape-to-tape image copy between tapes on each node)?

                Would appreciate a prompt response. Thanks in advance.
