Thanks for the feedback.
I missed out another, which is a Staging Manager.
Defining Staging exclusion windows so that disk thrashing does not occur and
thus enabling the maximum throughput for the backup to the disk.Makes sure that
only required data is kept on Disk. Staging Manager for EMC Legato NetWorker
performs cleanup operations removing savesets that have expired, making more
disk space available for more backups.Making staging operations run as smaller
separate tasks, releasing disk space back to backups more quickly and removing
the potential for backups to wait for the staging operation to
complete.Configuration of policies to automatically clone data before staging,
and that ONLY cloned data is staged to another device, thus making sure that
cloning works at the maximum efficiency as it can use the full read speed of
the disk device.Providing a GUI based editor that enables the easy creation on
new policies based on user definable templates.Configuration of highly granular
policies for data that matches certain data set properties as stored in the
NetWorker internal databases.Siobhán Ellis

These ideas all seem interesting. What really stands out for me though is
the cloning manager utility. The NetWorker administrator wizzard might
also be extremely helpful.
