SMSQL, cDoT and Snapvault restores

I am trying to setup SMSQL and snapvault intergration on CDOT

When running a SMSQL backup job that also archives off to secondary storage - the job runs, and the snapshots do get sent to the SV destination as expected.

However - the snapvault datasets do not show up in the gui to be able to be restored.

Looking in the backup logs shows the following:

SMSQL7.2.2, Snapdrive 7.1.4 and DOT9.1
