Hello,

one of our clients is working with a backup server with local disk
storage.  They do a backup to disk devices (instead of tape drives) and
have a L9 robot attached to the server too.  Once a month they perform a
full backup and clone this to the tape drive.  After 2 months, the data
has to be removed from the local disk drives, but this is not so easy. 
1 disk device is 400 GB, and a full backup is 100 GB.  They need 4 fulls
to fill a disk drive (but that's 4 months).  How can they remove the
oldest cycle without loosing the clone saveset too?  You can relabel the
volume, but then you have to wait until the last saveset is 2 months old
(and the oldes 6 months).
