Tough to know where to begin with that last question...
In a BRMS managed shop I would need to see some explanation as to why anything would be saved to a save file and then saved to tape (virtual or otherwise).
Ignoring that, when you use a VTL (Virtual Tape Library, not to be confused with a tape device or a virtual tape image catalog) the IBM i thinks it's saving to an IBM tape library. To the IBM i this tape library could have one or more drives. And the IBM i thinks the library could have a vast number of tape cartridges loaded into the tape library. So the IBM i sends the data to the VTL like it was a mylar tape library. Now, how the VTL stores the data on it's disk drives is it's own business and is very proprietary between brands. And how they replicate the data between two VTL's of the same manufacturer is again proprietary and is NOT done by DUPMED or DUPMEDBRM. Therefore you cannot just plop a VTL from a different manufacturer in there and have them duplicate the tapes between each other.
