Hello guys,
I have a doubt if this is normal or if the images on disk are being copied twice.
Example, in my productive disk pool if I filter the images by catalog in the netbackup console, it appears:
- primary copy : 12520 images
- Copy 1 : 12515 images
Is it normal to have these 2 quantities of images in primary copy and copy 1? or should they only appear in primary copy?
thank you very much

Without knowing more about the environment and how you process backups this is most likely fine. Some background to explain:
So the count of primary copies may not equal the count of copy 1. There is no reason why it needs to be the same.

It is normal. When you take a backup, always copy the primary copy.
You can check it using the columns "copy number" and "primary copy" for both queries.
If you have multiple copies, then you can select which copy will be the primary.
The primary copy is used to restore.
