Now GRT backups and restores of Sharepoint to OST DataDomain work, but not
supported. I am doing them anyway, but also doing non GRT sharepoint
backups.

Just plain not supported.

SLP duplications for the GRT backups fail silently but file the SLP image
incomplete report up with every single GRT backup, duplication jobs never
run. Enterprise support I doubt will help since GRT backup to OST device
is not supported. It has been a while since I visited this though with
support.
