Thank.  But... If there is a clone id doesn't that mean a clone was made?
If so then how can some of the clone id's say there is only 1 copy.  (If 1
copy means it is just a copy of the data off the drive.)

You are correct in your assesment of the clone id and it's meaning.  As
for why it would try to create more than 1 clone, my experience has show
that this is an "undocumented feature" in Legato.  I call it an
undocumented feature since we all know that Legato doesn't contain any
bugs.   ;-)  As for why multiple different savesets would have the same
clone id it is because they were completed at the same time.  The clone
ID bears a striking resemblance to epoch seconds.  Unix folk will know
what I mean by that but for the rest of the world it is the number of
seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 UTC time.
