Helo,
With all the factors involved in cloning, i have enough doubt to re-
consider cloning.
1. With all the flags and cloning considerations, can it be fully 
automated in VTL inviroment or is it going to be daily headach ?
2. There seems to be enough factors that could fail or raise doubt on 
cloning process whereby making it hit or miss and unreliable for rescovery.
3. Seems like extensive scripting may be required to acomplish it.
4. What if any effects are on missing the window for sending tapes offsite 
due to failed cloning etc exists.
5. What may be advantage disadvantage related to cloning at saveset level 
vs volume.
6. Can the users of this forum relate thier cloning experiance\restores 
for people who have done it over 6 months in medium to large enviroment,( 
50+ servers).
7. I am looking for that comfort level and not fininding it in cloning 
operations.
Please relay your general openion on this subject apart from technical 
difficulties.
Thanks
