Before invoking VMBTCPY, make sure that:
VMBTCPY does not validate the accuracy of the individual CA VM:Backup records on the source tape during the copy procedure. However, invalid formats, such as missing header or trailer labels, are flagged as errors. VMBTCPY makes no attempt to correct the problems.
The target tape drive must support the density of the source tape.
If the target tape is shorter than the CA VM:Backup source tape being copied, VMBTCPY issues message 062E and ends. You must locate and ready a target tape that is at least as long as the source tape, then start VMBTCPY again.
Note: You can use VMBTCPY to make copies of CA VM:Backup tapes for your own purposes. However, this procedure is not a replacement for having CA VM:Backup make tape copies in a backup or MPC job. The tape copy created with VMBTCPY has the same volser as the original; this will cause problems in most tape libraries.
