Did you use the "-cn" option to do it or allow it to dupliate from the
default primary image (which copy 2 became after you expired copy 1)?
FWIW, I found a windows batch file reference to the command that use the
"-cn" option and the windows command line reference has the option
available.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] bpduplicate -cn on Windows?
Yes it can. On 6.0 I imported some old DLT media. Ran a copy from DLT
(Copy 1) to LTO (Copy 2.) Then I expired the copy 1 and duplicated from
copy two to copy 3 (total of 3) which became the new copy 1. If copy
#1 is missing, any duplication you make becomes copy 1. (and I would
assume 2 3 4 etc... the lowest available copy number.)

I believe that Rolf is actually asking whether bpdulicate can successful
make copies of images other than the primary (and in your case, copy 1
was probably the primary).
(I can't actually answer the question. I don't keep NBU master servers
on Windows, and this would be one more reason not to.)

I have used it in the past on a windows 2003 server/NBU 6.0MP4 to create
duplicates from the 1st copy of an image. I believe that is what you
are asking.

Hello,
Is there anyone who can confirm or deny that the -cn switch for the
bpduplicate command only works on Unix and not on Windows?
Thanks
