We had thought of that and that is the next port of call.
If all else fails.
Thanks for your help though.

Hi Networkers.
We need some help!!!!
We currently have an 8 drive SDLT unit which backs up the trunck of our
data, however we need to use our tapes more efficently we seldom have many
full tapes during the week day evening backups which is a Level 1 although
it will use up to 8 tapes in one go due to the drive availibility.
We have therefore come to the idea about cloning the tapes and then deleting
the originals to ensure only the correct number of tapes are used.
We would then reuse the none cloned tapes again.
Now the problem we have is that the clone media does not keep the index
information so that when we delete the actual backup tape the none clone one
we loss the client index and if a restore was needed we'd have to scan a
tape in...... how bad is that!!!
So does anyone have any ideas how we could have a clone style pool which we
can clone too which then holds valid index information so that when we
delete the originals the index information is kept.
The Cloning operation is scripted but will not clone to a pool which isn't
clone status.
We are using Networker 6.1.2 now on Windows 2000 sp2.
Any help that is given would be a great help.
Many Thanks
Dan
