I'm new to Vault, and I'm configuring our new 6.5.1 environment (to 
replace our existing 3.4).  I'm using disk staging, and in one case the 
Vault profile includes an image that is staged on disk and has also been 
duplicated to tape via the DSSU schedule--so there are 2 copies 
currently.  I understand that I should probably increase the global 
setting "Maximum backup copies" from 2 to 3 in order to allow Vault to 
proceed with duplication for offsite purposes.

However, what I don't understand is why the Vault job ends with status 
0, even though it fails to duplicate the image.  The job log shows:

05/21/2008 09:55:33 - vault duplication validation of 1 images failed: 
Maximum allowed copies will be exceeded
<vault catalog backup here>
the requested operation was successfully completed (0)

So I wouldn't know if an image is not duplicated by Vault because of 
this limit, and therefore I would be missing this image in my offsite 
backups.  Is this expected behavior, and if so, how would I detect this 
"failure"?  Or am I using the wrong approach here?  Or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Bryan
