sorry - just noticed AFTD in the subj - it looks like you can be doing multiple 
backups and only one (manual) clone within a single storage node

Advanced File Type Device - these are slightly different (page 10-17 admin 
7.3.2 guide):

Differences in the cloning process

For both file type devices and AFTDs, save sets are cloned one at a time. 
Important
differences exist, however, in the cloning process for the two types of devices:
◆ For file type devices, both automatic and manual cloning begins only after 
all the save sets
in a savegroup have been backed up.
◆ For AFTDs, automatic cloning begins after the save sets have been backed up. 
Manual
cloning of a save set can, however, begin as soon as it has finished its backup.
◆ For AFTDs, two simultaneous clone operations can be run from the 
command-prompt, as
long as no backup, recover, or stage operations are running at the same time. 
The syntax
is as follows:
* nsrclone -S [ssid/cloneid1]
* nsrclone -S [ssid/cloneid2]

Automatic savegroup cloning happens after that savegroup's completion,
other savegroups running while cloning is ok though

Of course it's limited by the available drives, etc

Has anyone had experience of cloning from B2D? In the Networker Admin
guide Table 10-2: 'Concurrent operations within a single storage node'

it suggests that it's not possible to clone a saveset automatically
while backups are happening. Is that correct, or have I misinterpreted
the information?

 

Thanks

Nick
