Not sure I have though, in that nothing seems to have happened,

I see where that thinking is heading, but,

if it's making a copy of JobId 4, and that was an Incremental that ran
as "first time Full", does that mean that there's now NOTHING that has
changed, and hence both displaying 0 Files/Bytes,

rather than the actual payload from JobId 4?

then again, if it really was "Copy-ing" 0 Files/Bytes, both Jobs would
have ended by now, no?
