Multiple Recovery Volumes from same SGC Backup volume

The ability to have multiple R (Recovery) Volumes from the same B (Backup) volumes would support where one R volume is presented to infrastructure for forensic analysis and cleaning etc., and another R volume from the same B source presented to other infrastructure for scanning for infections/anomalies. As the Source, B and R voluems are linked, means only a single use case for R volumes can be in operation at a single time. Its either analysis OR scanning not both at the same time.

    The approach for this today is to use a FlashCopy for the scanning use case to avoid this restriction.
