Networkers,

I just ran into a serious problem when cloning savesets:

I have 2 tape drives.  client parallellism=4, server parallellism=8.  I ran
a full backup of 2 clients and data was streaming to both drives.  As tapes
would fill, some savesets were continued on 2nd tape.  The 2 clients had
savesets written on a total of 3 tapes.  No problem.

When I used the gui to clone the savesets (selecting saveset clone not
volume clone) I was presented with the list of savesets.  I cloned them,
however, only 2 source tapes were used and it all wrote to 1 tape.  (H/W
compression is on both drives.)  It appears that savesets that spanned
volumes did not have the data from the spanned volume cloned.  The clone,
which filled 2+ tapes, fit on less than 1 tape.  When I look at the volumes
(using gui) all 3 volumes list the savesets as cloned.  However I KNOW that
the 3rd tape was never loaded.  The "completed" clone tape is 95GB.  Tapes
1 and 2 together are 188GB (tape 3 is another 30GB).

Is there an explaination for this networker behaviour?

Thanks
