Heh.  Read it again.  It's not the saveset retention period which is applying 
to the clone saveset, it's the clone retention period which is applying to the 
original saveset when the "Clones" checkbox is ticked.  So for something like 
saving to media in a virtual tape library with a retention period of 2 weeks in 
the short term and cloning off to physical tape to be held for 3 months, the 
data would be held on virtual tape for 3 months as well.  Unless you use 
nsrclone -y manually from command line/script, that is.

Cheers,

Stuart.

Is there a new field like 'cloneretent' or something?  I'd expect
ssretent to continue to apply to all clones (like ssid does).
