[Veritas-bu] vault 4.5 question

4.5 vault does indeed have the smarts to avoid re-duplicating an 
image that has already been duplicated.

But given that NetBackup 4.5 allows up to 10 copies of an image to 
exist, Vault has to be a little more subtle than just counting how 
many image copies already exist...

What vault does is examine the destination storage unit of the 
duplication that is about to happen, specifically the VOLUME POOL 
specified for that new image copy.  If the image in question already 
has a copy that resides in that volume pool, then vault won't 
duplicate it again.

(and if the destination storage unit happens to be disk, reread the 
above two sentences but substitute "disk storage unit" for the phrase 
"volume pool")
