Hello,
Trying to understand ,  i don't recall , giving ssid list when auto 
cloning is enabled, would it be Networker that created this problem via 
auto clone ? or was it a manual clone operations ?
Perhaps i misunderstood the remedy here ?
Thanks

Afv_File ?






Sharing the info with you, I located and fixed
the problem : 

Clones were effectively well launched at the end
of the savegroup completion. BUT ...
The problem came from nsrstage when staging
the disk devices : as no cloneid was specified in
list of SSID nsrstage should stage, it results
in Legato to move "all" instances of the SSIDs
to the stage target pool (reading only 1 effectively)
and invalidating all other SSID copies (removing entry 
from mediadb so losing tracks of the cloned copies also).

Sample of lost backups

C:\>mminfo -q "ssid=2924977175" -o t -r
ssid,cloneid,client,totalsize,sscreate,volume
 ssid         clone id client          total created volume

C:\>nsrstage -m -b LTO3 -S 2924977175
6330:nsrstage: Cannot access volume LTO088, please mount the volume or
verify its label.
6365:nsrstage: Space can only be recovered from adv_file and file type
devices.

C:\>mminfo -q "ssid=2924977175" -o t -r
ssid,cloneid,client,totalsize,sscreate,volume
 ssid         clone id client          total created volume
2924977175  1213706164 networker   3545 MB 17/06/2008 LTO254

Updating nsrstage script with ssid/cloneid just move the right
SSID copy to its new pool.

Something to remember !!

Thanks to all who responded.
