On our environmanet we had a problem with tape failing or when changing tape technology is needed, or when contents were direct to wrong tape/pool/retention, requering move/duplicate contents between tapes. We had developed a script to do this tape copy/move between STU/STGs, but is time consuming, uses indirect resources (it´s almost impossible to list images used by a single tape on large catalogs using a single command) and error prone. Should be great Symantec creates such tool to easy duplicate/move tape contents on gui/line command, without the need to list all images and do it almost mannually.
