1) This could be done, with a little bit of scripting. The tricky bit is
re-labelling the clone tape. You can't *recycle* it, because that would
also set the original savesets to recyclable, but you can re-label the
volume to start fresh. That would require either hard-coding a volume
label into the script (not desirable), or using something like "mminfo -m -
q 'pool=<clonepool>,location=<jbname>'" and then picking out one of the
volume names to relabel with a "nsrjb -L -Y [-m] -b <clonepool> <volume>".
Then something like "mminfo -av -r "ssid" -
q "pool=<indexpool>,savetime>yesterday" | nsrclone -b <clonepool> -S -f -".
2) Using the automatic cloning feature, you can't specify just part of the
group - it's all or nothing. Some people like to save the indexes as a
separate session from regular groups, by turning off index saves on regular
groups and then scheduling a "savegrp -O" afterwards, but then you can't
invoke the automatic clone function (AFAIK).
Recommendation - use the scheduled nsrclone idea, but don't bother with
trying to re-label the tapes, if you have enough slots to support the
separate clone pool.
