works as designed... it's a safety feature because volumes can be backed up with NDMP only once. So allowing to clone the job could potentially create issues. If we would disable jobs after cloning, customers might not know why it's disabled and also ask questions. So that's the reason why we disabled cloning completely for NDMP jobs

does that help to understand the "why"?
