If you are using Legato's Networker backup software there is a web page that you can use to answer question.
http://web1.legato.com/tech_dialog/main_lefaq.html

The error is usually that there are no more tapes in the Default pool. If there is an empty slot in your jukebox, add a blank tape, and add it to the pool (via the inventory - inventory just the one slot to save time)

If you are using a different product - please provide info.

tcopy

tcopy(1)							   User Commands							  tcopy(1)

NAME

       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS

       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcopy  utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.

       When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files.  If a des-
       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
       duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,

       example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
