This is a question positioned at people running 7.3 in production or
test.  I have heard and read that Staging and Cloning has been improved
in terms of functionality (better source and destination support,
scheduling, retention periods, etc.) and integration with the GUI.  I
know that clones can have different retentions, but that is about all I
can see as changed.  I personally have always thought that creating home
grown scripts to perform all my staging and cloning needs has been a
band-aid on an open sore in NetWorker.  I was wondering what they have
really done to improve this aspect of the product.

The angle I am coming from is the ability to perform my primary backup
to my VTL, then make a secondary copy via saveset cloning to tape, then
make a third copy via saveset cloning to our DR site.  In 7.2.1 this
would require me to put together a bunch of scripts, is 7.3 able to
create staging and cloning entities to deal with this type of
conifiguration?

TIA

Cheers,
Jim
