can I copy an Image from a previous tape(s) to a single volume

[jimbomlac]

I need to put multiple old images from several shared tapes with multiple server backups on them, to a tape for just one server, so all old images from tape to a new tape?

There is a man page available on the command. If you are less adventurous then you can also do duplication from the GUIs. You will find the utility as a drop down action under "catalog".
