I need to copy *some* of the backup files from one LTO tape to another. My current idea is to make a script to read everything off the tape into a list, then restore each one and back it up to disk. Then delete the ones I don't want out of that directory and reverse the process to the other LTO tape. Is there an easier way to do this or such a script/utility already out there? Searching for "copy backup" or "transfer backup" hasn't been very productive.

Hi,
I don't know the answer but i am very interested in that topic.
Also i would like to know how can i restore backup file from tape to disk, just to get the .bak file which was made on tape by sql server backup.

Use Enterprise Manager to restore from tape to database. Backup from Database to disk. That solution would work for me, but I have a lot of backups and a lot of tapes, so doing this manually is going to be a pain. I've decided to write an application in C# (unless someone suggests something already out there), but it's going to be specific to my needs and not very useful for anyone else.
