===== Problem Description =====
<html>
Incorrect error message is returned when calling the UpdateFilter.do API to update settings of an existing backup filter.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 "Filter name is already in use" is always returned with status error, which is incorrect.
 For example:
 <br/>
 <br/>
 API call: UpdateFilter.do
 <br/>
 <br/>
 JSON Post:
 <br/>
 {
 <br/>
 "SysUser":"system",
 <br/>
 "SysPwd":"system",
 <br/>
 "LoginName":"username",
 <br/>
 "BackupSetID":"backupset_id",
 <br/>
 "Name":"filter_name",
 <br/>
 "ID":"filter_id",
 <br/>
 "TopDir":"C:\\directory",
 <br/>
 "Type":"DEFAULT",
 <br/>
 "Include":false,
 <br/>
 "Only":true,
 <br/>
 "Apply2Dir":true,
 <br/>
 "Apply2File":true,
 <br/>
 "Patterns":[{"Pattern":".txt"},{"Pattern":".png"}]
 <br/>
 }
 <br/>
 <br/>
 JSON Return:
 <br/>
 {
 <br/>
 "Status":"Error",
 <br/>
 "Message":"Filter name is already in use.",
 <br/>
 "ExptType":"com.ahsay.obs.core.dbs.e"
 <br/>
 }
</html>


===== Cause =====
<html>
This is a known issue with AhsayCBS version 7.5.0.0 - 7.5.0.6.
 <br/>
 <br/>
