We recently rolled out a VTL and I'm in the process of scripting the cloning 
process. From the testing I've done, it seems as though nsrclone does not clone 
the SSIDs in the order you pass to the command.
I'd love to clone the oldest savesets first so that I can roll them off the VTL 
first.
I was thinking I could do something similar to:

mminfo -ot -q "pool=VTL1,copies=1,!incomplete,savetime<21 days ago" -r ssid --> 
output to a file $FILE


Then I will clone the ssids

nohup nsrclone -b "$POOL" -y "$RETENTION" -J "$NODE" -S -f $FILE &

I was surprised to see my savesets aren't being cloned in the order of the 
savesets in the file.
Can anyone tell me how nsrclone determines which savesets will be cloned first?

Thank you,

Brett
