Hmm, yeah. When can you start cloning?  after the first tape or saveset?
Weekends are usually pretty dead for us, so hitting machines twice wasn't
really a concern, getting the stuff over the wire over the weekend was
(i.e. we run a Full on saturday night and incrementals after that)Out to tape 
usually takes around 24hours at the moment.

Would another option be to change the schedule for the Offsite group, so
day Full & 1,2,3,4,5,6, where as the Default is a Full & i,i,i,i,i,i?
Thanks,

Simon.
