you could backup to a disk STU, then backup these images to tape without
a problem. But 4.5 doesn't have a way to relate the meta file info
between the backups to disk and the backup to tapes.
What I'm trying to say is that your restore process will now be two
steps: find the image backed up from disk STU, restore it, then find the
file and restore it. It might even involve importing and other trickery
to get it to work how you want.

5.0 is supposed to support this technology, but that's about all I know
of it. Besides that, 5.0, according to the list, is not really a good
solution at this point.

If you're really interested in doing d-d-t right now, check out ADIC's
Pathlight VX, or other similar products.
