Hi, Sendura,

Well, I know,

* media pahse 1 completed have IMPORTED status, and their size indicate 0.
* media pahse 2 completed have IMPORTED status, and their size indicate more than 0.
* Runing phase 2 twice does not affect any alive images.
* "bpimport -PD" shows images imported by phase 1 and not completed phase 2.
* phase 2 is initiated with backup images. If you run phase 2 with "-id", this is interpreted by NetBackup as all images on target medium to be processed phase 2. You can do phase 2 to another mediaum(but the medium have to be completed phase 1, of cource).

Do these tips help you?
