type? (Example: 3581 to 3570 or vice versa).
Dave,
Short answer: Yes.
If the destination tape is of lower capacity, it will create multiple tapes,
so you should probably have enough tapes initialized before starting
the process.
Have you read the help text for the DUPTAP command?
Restrictions (from the help text):
<snip>
1. You must have two tape drives or a tape media library device
with two tape resources to use this command.
2. A file that spans volumes must have both partial files
duplicated at the same time. That is, duplicating a tape that
ends in a partial file, followed by appending the second part
of the file to the end of the tape is not allowed. You must
duplicate both parts of the file at the same time by
specifying multiple volumes on the FROMVOL parameter.
