Of course with the right backup software.

which is?

Networker for example but any backup tool with media cloning feature should be able to do it.

Right now I'm stuck with brightstor arcserve. The tapes that need to be cloned were made with brightstor and I believe that I have to use this software if I want to duplicate the tapes. I don't know if other software will be capable to duplicate tapes made with arcserve. I found that hp data protect has this feature and I hope it will be able to duplicate tapes made with arcserve.
