Hi Kirk, I think you'd use the CPYxxxTAP commands to jockey sequence number commands around. However, the main issue is the USEOPTBLK(*YES), which appears to do blocking optimization based on the device used; DUPTAP won't work if the blocking is incompatible and I assume a copied file wouldn't be readable on another device. Check out LTL400V385/QCLSRC(XXC790) to see how I handled duplicating tapes before the DUPTAP command. I'd test the DUPTAP function first, all the way down to restoring the files from the LTO2 before I send my 7208's to the dumpster. Al Barsa is the ranking save/restore expert; he might know the best way to tackle this. Regards, Reeve Fritchman Ayers Rock Software LLC 4915 S.
