Odd .... that message never showed up here. Apologies for the missed
communication.

Ah, OK, this is now clearer.

Now that I understand better what you're trying to do, it seems a
basically reasonable thing to want to do. I have to confess I don't
understand why there should be a limitation that you cannot restore
directly from a copy. This seems to me to rather defeat much of the
point of a copy job. What is the benefit to me of making a copy of a
job if I cannot then take that copy elsewhere and restore from it?
