We converted to scripted cloning (instead of having the full save groups do automatic clones) recently. However, I have discovered that there are savesets that are always at the full level, so my mminfo query to build the list of savesets that need to be cloned is flawed.

Right now, I'm performing the following query:

mminfo -q 'group=Windows 2,level=full,savetime>1 month ago'

However, I'm making more clones that I really need to, since I'm cloning every "SYSTEM STATE:\" and the like from all the windows machines that were made (and not previously cloned).

Does anyone have a technique for distinguishing the entire group was level=full vs just those few Windows savesets that are ALWAYS level=full?

Thanks,
