Duplication limitations in 2012 (from 12.5)

I need a solution

Hi,

I'm trying to recreate my jobs in BE 2012 VRay using VMware instead of the data-level server backups that I used previously in 12.5

We have a large B2D storage, plus 21 tape slots available, configured into partitions - 1 monthly partition, where tapes are rotated 3-monthly, four 'week' partitions, 1 'daily' (ie incremental) partition, plus spare slots for one-off's and restores etc.

We usually do Full B2D on Friday, duped to that weeks tape partition, plus Incremental B2D Monday to Thursday, duped to the incremental partition.

With BE 2012, it appears if I create a job to do B2D Full (Friday) and Incremental (Mon-Thu), I can either Duplicate it after the Full, OR Duplicate it after the Incremental, OR schedule it to Duplicate at a specific time/date/frequency - why can I not Duplicate it immediately after BOTH the Full and Incremental (ie Full on Friday or Incremental the other days)?  I expected to see an 'Add' button under the Duplicate part of the job flow, like there is when editing the Backup part of the job flow, allowing me one schedule for the Full dupe and one schedule for the Incremental dupes...

I thought I'd found a workaround by creating four jobs, each set to run the relevant B2D on the 'Nth' Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri of each month, but then I can't set the Duplicate to run on every day of that Nth week so I'd have to set it to run every weekday, but then I'd end up with four duplicate jobs trying to run at the same time every weekday...

Am I doing something wrong or missing something obvious?

Peter
