I have this same problem on 7.4.4.   But since we have been having
constant problems on 7.4.4, I thought it was related to that.  Nice to
see it isn't fixed in 7.5.  

If you find out anything, please post it here.

Full

I am running NW 7.5 on Windows 2008... suffering the woes of being an
early adopter.  I run a weekly group with an automatic clone for offsite
backup.  Sometimes, a random error will occur during the clone
operation, which will cause a volume to be marked full prematurely.  The
clone is then continued onto another volume.  Sometimes another failure
will occur, spanning the clone onto yet another volume.  I may have two
volumes with 20-30GBs and a third with the final 300GB.

How can I repair this?  Basically I need to clone multiple volumes onto
a single volume and avoid the creation of another ssid/cloneid or
"expire" the original ssid/cloneid of the clone instance and create
another on the new volume.  Further, I would like the merged volume to
expire at the same time the orignal (if the operation was successful)
would have expired... so in this case 42 days from today.

Any advice?
