Just want to know in which version of Legato volume to volume ( not saveset

I am running very old versions 5.1 and 6.0.1 of Legato and it seems saveset
cloning is the only possibility in these versions.
From which minimum version this volume cloning is possible, please provide
me details on it.


Volume cloning is a bit of a misnomer in NetWorker. If you clone a
volume all you are doing is making a list of all the save sets on the
volume and cloning that list. It does not make an identical copy of the
volume, it may include fragments of save sets from other volumes, and
there is no guarantee that it will fit on a single volume, or indeed
write it all to the same volume.

So - all cloning in NetWorker is save set cloning.

Both the versions you mention have the options in the GUI to clone a
volume in this way. AFAIK this feature was in 4.2, the earliest version
I can remember.
