Onderwerp: [Networker] Question on tape rewinding???

Kind of a dumb question here ...

1. I notice that when I go to clone a save set that the source tape will 
forward a certain number of files (e.g. 173) and then read, with the 
target tape moving forward and then writing - all well and fine.

2. But if I then clone another save set on the same source tape, and 
this is just a few file beyond the previous one (e.g. 177), it again 
forwards that number of files (in this case 177). It appears that after 
each clone, the source tape rewinds??

Is this correct behavior on non-rewind devices? Perhaps, the non-rewind 
only applies when writing data and not reading data?

3. I then run another clone wherein I give it a list of all the ssids on 
the source tape, and it simply reads solid all the way through and does 
not mention anything about forwarding or rewinding. It just reads 
uninterrupted. Does this make sense?
