Question : Problem: Backup directly to tape using DLO

Is there any way to backup my desktops and laptops directly to tape using the DLO in Backup Exec 12 ? I can backup the systems to the server but due to space limitations I'd like to back up directly to tape.

Answer : Problem: Backup directly to tape using DLO

No.
DLO works on replication  and there is absolutely no way that you can backup DLO data directly to tape
