Backup to Disk then Duplicate to USB...

OK - here is my setup: Backup Exec 2012 installed on Windows 2008 R2.  I am doing a full backup to disk and then duplicating that to USB.  Success so far... BE tells me 661 GB have been backed-up in both stages (original backup and then follow-on duplicate).  However, when I look in the USB storage device there are only 17GB in there...

Also, when I attempt a restore, I expect to be prompted to choose between the disk location and the USB location.  This does not happen.  The jobs have been created from scratch, rather than editing an existing job.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Are you looking at the whole disk usage or just bkf fies - as if you have GRT backups you need to include the IMG folders which may not be in the same subfolder as the BKF
