Symptoms

Avamar SQL backup tries to create multiple snapview avtar processes, and snapview avtar logs show the failure:

avtar Info <7209>: Finished reading makeview input
avtar Error <16518>: Duplicate path name 'serverxyz/f-0.sql_db.stream0' in pluginmerge'd 
snapview with different labels 430 vs. 432 is not permitted

Cause

Duplicate contents are added in snapview because the SQL Database name "ubiquiti-radar" contains an 'i-' in it.
 

<file ... labelnum="430" fullname="..ubiquiti-radar/f-0.ubiquiti-radar.stream0" />Duplicate
<file ... labelnum="430" fullname="..ubiquiti-radar/f-0.ubiquiti-radar.stream1" />Duplicate


Database ubiquiti-radar contains an 'i-' in its name, which triggers a condition in the code and the database ubiquiti-radar is added twice to the snapview.
