Unable to see duplicate job in Backup Calendar

Hi Symantec,

I have created a backup job that backup from disk to tape and then duplicate to tape at specified time (Not run immediately after the primary backup is completed) and the duplicate job is not showing seperately on Backup calendar. 

I am able to exclude the primary job for certain date from the backup calendar but not the duplicate job since the duplicate job is not appearing from the calendar but manually open each job to exclude it.

Can you please advise is this a bugs or is not feature in the Backup Exec 2014? The OS is on Windows 2012 Physical server.

Regards,

Ag BC.

    If i recall, this is by design. The backup calendar will show only backup jobs and not duplicates.

    EDIT**

    Here is a KB as well - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH194802

    Thank you VJware. It seem like some customers has already experience the same problems that I am facing back to 2012. Will Symantec add this feature to allow duplicate job show on backup calendar in order to allow administrator easliy to manage the backup job and except the duplicate job on certain date?

    Regards,
