Re: [Veritas-bu] bpduplicate question

Its not really the correct option as you will now need to change the copy number to 3 when you want to do a restore and not to copy number 2. The reason i think this has happened is as the message suggests it already has 2 copies as you did a successfully duplication. Did you use the -copy flag on
