Have you looked at the "copies" field in mminfo?

Here's how we determine whether something needs to be cloned or not:

mminfo -a -ot -r 
"ssid,cloneid,copies,barcode(10),pool(10),savetime,ssretent,location(10),client(15),totalsize,name"
 -q "location=%LIBRARY%,pool=%ORIGPOOL%,copies=1,savetime>14 days 
ago,!suspect,!ssrecycle,!incomplete"

Just for clarity, %LIBRARY% and %ORIGPOOL% are Windows env variable indicating 
the pool for the savesets - I copied this out of our cloning script....

This is from our 7.4.5 environment, so I can't say for sure that it will work 
for 7.5, but I have a hunch it will....

You could run a comparison on savesets where copies =1 and copies are >1
