There's a "max copies" variable that might need to be set higher. It's =
in
the GUI somewhere but you can do it via command line with "bpconfig
-max_copies <num>"  (view with "bpconfig -U").

Hello!=20

We have upgraded from NBU 3.4.1 to NBU 4.5 some weeks ago. We are using
Solaris 8, L180 robot and LTO drives.=20

I know of the old limitation of only two copies of each image for NBU =
3.4.1
and I have been told this limitation should be gone in NBU 4.5.

However, when trying to make another copy of an already copied image, =
the
same old info message is displayed:=20

        root@robocop:/> bpduplicate -PM -backupid host_1053118925=20
INF - Skipping backup id host_1053118925, it already has 2 copies.=20

        INF - found no images or media matching the selection criteria=20
root@robocop:/>=20

I have seen in the man pages (man bpduplicate) that I need "Inline Tape =
Copy
option" to be able to make several copies at the same time, but that is =
not
applicable here I think. Everywhere in the man pages it says I can have =
up
to 10 copies, but the reality tells me something else.

Am I missing something? Some kind of backward compatibility that has to =
be
disabled first?=20
