Yes,  Networker will do that.   Not much one can do to control it.  If you
search the archives there was  mention of it and a RFE that you could add
your name to.

In Version 7.1.1 there is LGTpa 49963; "Mounting unecessary volumes
during cloning operations" ...but I don't know if that is the same thing.
With version 7.1.1 I have seen now where it will clone to one tape instead
of 2.  I can't say it does it all the time though and can't say there is
any control over it.  Has anyone else notice this with the new version??
