Re: [Networker] General Backup Question

Hi All.

In terms of getting networker to request a clone volume instead of the
origional (from the administrators guide page 501
*
*

In order to recover save set files from a clone volume, rather than the
original

volume, you must first designate the original save set as *suspect*. Once
the

NetWorker server determines that the original save set is marked as suspect,

it looks for a cloned version. If a clone volume containing the cloned save
set

exists, it appears in the Required Volumes window. Otherwise, the software

attempts to recover the data from the suspect volume.
