We have the 3570 tape library.  Our full system save takes 5 tapes.  After
the last full save, I used the DUPTAP command like always to make a
duplicate copy.  I ended up needing 6 tapes for the duplication.

Anybody seen this before?  How/why would six tapes be used when duplicating
5?

Note: BRMS is not used.

Thanks,
Charles
