Issue/Introduction
A duplicate job should fail with error "0xe0009444 - The requested source duplicate backup sets catalog record could not be found. Perhaps the media containing the source backup sets was previously deleted" when source backup set is not available. However for GRT backups if duplicate backup is scheduled to run at later time and any of the source differential backup is not available (expired and deleted) then the job completes as cancelled with below error.
Error Message
The job was canceled because the response to a media request alert was Canceled, or because the alert was configured to automatically respond with Canceled, or because the Backup Exec Job Engine service was stopped.
