You can clone by volume name, volume id, or (like we do) by saveset. If you 
want to clone more than one thing at a time, you need to get what you want into 
a file, and pass the file name to the nsrclone executable.  In our case, we use 
an mminfo command to populate a text file with all of the saveset numbers we 
intend to clone and then reference that file with the -f option using nsrclone. 
 By using mminfo, you can craft a query to return just the items, be it volume 
names or savesets, that need to be cloned on to tape.  Our script uses an 
mminfo query that looks for savesets that only have one copy (i.e. no clone 
copy already exists), and I'm guessing that you could craft something that 
achieves the same for volumes.
