[Veritas-bu] Does copy 1 always mean primary copy?

The primary doesn't change using bpduplicate unless you use the
"-set_primary" or the "-npc" options.  If you only copy prior to your
duplication was copy 2, then the copy 1 was created and your primary copy is
still #2.

If you want that newly created copy #1 to be primary, and if you didn't use
the options above, then you'll have to change it after the fact with
bpchangeprimary.

I duplicating some images of archive logs from tape to disk for a D/R test
and am seeing this in the log: 
11:45:24 INF - Duplicating policy Archive_logs schedule db2archlog_sched-2
backup id host_1116566166 copy 2 created on 05/20/2005 01:16:06 on source
media id UB0299
11:45:28 INF - Beginning duplication on server master of client host,
creating copy 1 on destination path /nbudiskpool2 
11:45:29 INF - Waiting for positioning of media id UB0299 on server media_1
for reading. 
11:45:30 INF - Beginning duplicate on server media_1 of client host. 
11:45:48 INF - Duplicate of backupid host_1116566166 successful. 
So, if there is only a copy 2, does the new copy always become copy 1? And
if this is the case, does that copy 1 always denote that the new copy is the
primary copy? Or do I still have to do a bpchangeprimary to get copy 1 to be
the primary copy?
Any help is appreciated. Please copy me on e-mail as I'm not in the office
and my e-mail is open there and filtering to a folder in my pst.
Thanks!
