Not sure if that's the right way to word this but here's a few questions
that seem to fit the bill:

1. What happens if I have job A that I'm cloning to a given pool, which
I kicked off as:

A: nsrclone -b pool -S ssid1 ssid2 ssid3

and then, after that's been running for a while, I then launch another
clone operation B to the same pool as:

B: nsrclone -b pool -S ssid4 ssid5

Now, we're assuming that the device is not maxed out so it won't ask for
another tape in that same pool, and we're also assuming that the data
that's being read for job A is on a different tape than the data that's
being read for job B (guess it would have to be or NetWorker would have
a little fit). I assume it will then start multi-plexing the streams
from B into those already running from A? Seems like it should as this
is what it does for regular backups but just checking.

No, it definitely doesn't do that. Each clone session requires a
separate volume to write to.
