If you look in the vault/sessions directory for the sid of the vault
job.  You should see a "failed_images" file that will list all images
not duplicated and the reason for the failure.

Yes thats true,

The problem is that I have just enough VTL space to hold data for 3
days. We
engage 8 Gen3 drives 3-3-2 for the vaults {3 at at time}. We are in the
process of changing the polcies to implement daily vaulting, but would
take
some time. For now it happens that we are not able to overlap one of the
vaults in the 3 day period. Thus we end up loosing some images.

How can quickly get a list of skipped images during the vault. There shd
be
some way to extract this list from the files in the
"/usr/openv/netbackup/vault/sessions/" directory. I could then probably
manually duplicate them.

Any suggestions are welcome since I have run out of ideas.
