I am looking for a utility to copy from one back-up tape to another tape.
The tapes happen to be BackPack tapes.

Someone told me about some TELESUP program with a name like TAP2TAP, but I
cannot find this program or anything close on our systems.
-------------------------------------------------
Well how about using BackPack (formerly RoadRunner) itself.

<bp>/HELP COPY

copy

Copies all or part of any existing BackPack backup. The selected
files are duplicated in BackPack format, and a new file directory
built. Use copy to duplicate backups from tape to tape, tape to disc,
disc to tape, tape to DAT and DAT to tape. It can also be used to
archive selected portions of a backup, for example, only user files
and not applications, or only certain accounts.

If you enter copy without a select statement, the default fileset
depends on your MPE/iX access capabilities. If you have SM or OP
capability, you can store all files and directories; if you have AM,
you can store only your account; other wise, you can store only your
logon group.

If you don't specify from or to devices, BackPack issues a request
to the system console for the file RRSRC and RRDEST respectively.
If the source backup includes the system directory, it is included in
the copy. To exclude it, specify nodirectory.

When copying an appended backup from a DAT cartridge, you must specify
the index number of the backup to be copied with the index keyword. To
append a copied backup to a DAT cartridge that already contains
backups, use the append keyword to place it at the end of the data
already there.
