Hi Ken

What is the purpose of the clone operation?  For instance, are you creating
a set of removable media to send to a data retention facility like Iron
Mountain?  Or are you making a copy of the data, just to make sure your
original backups are good?  Or some other?

Knowing this will help us advise on what type of devices, etc. are most
desirable.

Thanks!

I was looking for feedback on how you do cloning. We have a rather large
environment and takes us 4 days to complet cloning. We clone about 18TB. We
only have one pool and clone all the FULL save sets via a home grown script.
