Hi Nelson,

you can think of the cloneid as a "nclonetime".
 
Note:  If you run "nsrinfo -t cloneid clientname" you don't get  information 
from any backups (unless there is a big coincidence here).
 
I suggested using  nsrinfo with the cloneid just to see if the date produced 
by nsrinfo would match the clonetime 


So, if you run the original mminfo command but adding the cloneid:

mminfo -v -q "copies>=3,clonetime>=7-Sep-2011, 
pool=ddclone" -oct  -r"client,name,totalsize,clonetime(16),ssid,cloneid"

what would be the date produced by nsrinfo using those cloneid's for each 
clone that shows a clonetime in the future? Would the cloneid's date match 
the clonetime?
