I am running the latest, 7.4.3.  My volretent is based on the ssretent rather 
than the clretent.  On my full backup volume, I have an ssretent of 11/2/09 and 
a clretent of 1/2/09.  My full backup pool has a 2 month retention, and the 
clone pool has a 1 year.  The ssretent value is equal to that of the longest 
save-set instance.  The volretent should be based on the clretent rather than 
ssretent.  

However, from what I understand the nsrim command will run and expire this 
volume around 1/2/09 + 1 week for the dependent incrementals regardless of 
NetWorkers volume expiration date.   I have yet to see this happen.  I am 
beginning to think NetWorker is not the ideal solution for my small-mid 
environment   I have been running the system for 9 months now with nothing but 
troubles.  I completed an intensive training session and read almost every page 
of the administrative guide... I don't think the product failure is user error 
at this point.  The documentation doesn't go into the nitty gritty details... 
such as clone-ids.  

If you define the owner notification attribute for the client resource, this no 
longer functions to the best of my knowledge in 7.4.3.
