Thanks for trying to help, but did you read my message at all?
NetBackup 5.1 MP5
was the first line of the message. I also said I tried to manually
bpduplicate the image _specifying_the_name_of_the_image_.
When bpduplicate couldn't find it by name, I decided to search the
restore catalog and sure enough it wasn't there. I hate to delete 90%
of the incremental for that day, but I guess NBU had failed me anyway
at that point.
Things are moving again after deleting the fragments, but I'm
definitely calling this a bug. I have 1.7TB of DSSU in my production
environment (MP4) and haven't seen this problem (where it's far more
likely to happen).
Thanks
