Copy Jobs Parent verses copys

[karlconnolly]

Hello when doing inline copies the parent job (example jobid 11111 has no attributes for file size or file count, however copy 1 and copy 2 have identical attributes of the parent yet have attributes for file count and file size . If the copys are actual copies of the parent is the parent backed up too? resulting in 3 actaul job id's 11111[parent], 11112[copy1] and 11113[copy3] . If copy 1 and copy 2 are copies of the parent where are they getting the file count and file size attributes, surely the parent would also display those attribues?
Can any one shed some light on copy jobs thanks i am running 4.5ga
