The Protection summary screen shouldn't show the replica VMs

Spectrum Protect Plus "Protection Summary" screen shows our replica machines that replicated with Recover Point.
This is a misleading situation. Both our machine count and the number of machines that are not backed up seem wrong.
It needs to be fixed.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    We use Recover Point to replicate critical VMs to our DR site and use Spectrum Protect Plus to backup our VMs.
    To be clear, number of backed up VMs is more than number of replicated ones.
    When we run hypervisor inventory on our environment, it shows shadow copy of replicated VMs too.
    We want from Spectrum Protect Plus is not to show shadow copy of replicated VMs with Recover Point.

    Yes, I'm referring to Dell EMC Recover Point.
    Protection summary screen shows replica VMs too.
    If there is a VM name file_server, it also shows rp.file_server.copy.shadow too.
