The action i got from original post was that he duplicated to the wrong pool and wanted to correct it by removing the duplication and then duplicating to the correct pool. I took from this that he just wanted 1 duplication and so the copy number would be 2.
Increasing the number of copies to 3 just means bpduplicate will create a new copy and it doesnt mean the 2nd copy he did do will be gotten rid of. Plus if he has a restore procedure to use the duplicated copies and needs to either change to primary or restore from copy 2 his documentation will be out for this copy which is copy number 3. It depends indeed how the restore process adopted works. I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick from the original email.
