Shelley,
Thanks for the perl implementation. While I haven't touched my original clone
script in years, as of last fall I am finally with a new employer where I am
once again supporting NetWorker (and re-joined the NetWorker list). I guess I
am going the opposite direction as you are. :-)
The current Networker config here doesn't lend itself to cloning, but in the
next 3-6 months I am going to be performing a major re-architect of the
environment here, and I will subsequently be able to beginning working on my
tools once again. I guess I also need to finally stop procrastinating and get
around to really learning perl myself!
Thanks and best of luck,
Rodney

Well, I am leaving my current position and will no longer be doing Networker
backups, so I am going to throw this cloning script over the wall for the
benefit of anyone who might like it before I unsub from the list. Contact
info is in the script.
This script was originally a /bin/sh created by Rodnet Rutherford. I
converted it to perl (gee, I wish I had used it to learn python), and updated
it somewhat.
I does indeed work, and it is pretty clean except for the missing features
(does not trap signals, for one). One glaring major omission is that you can
only run one at a time, as it checks for lock files. I only have two
non-NDMP drives, so this was not a feature that I could implement and
properly test, so it is up to the next interested party to consider that
feature. Now if NDMP supported clone by saveset...
There is a 500 line limit on postings, so I have made the script available via
the web: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~sls.
Once again, this has been a great list. Maybe I'll be back some day :-)
Shelley
