Let's say that, for example:

myvol has volume id 12340
myvol.R has volume id 12349

'vos rename' just changes the name, not the volume id. So by running
that 'vos rename' command you're saying you want volume id 12349 to have
name 'myvol', but 'myvol' already exists with volume id 12340. That's
the error you're getting.

If you want to restore under the original volume name and id number,
'vos restore' to 'myvol' directly with -name and -id.
