Chuck,
Try recovering some files from the clone tape. Check what
Savesets are on the tape according to Networker. If you've got the space
and time, do a saveset recover from the clone tape and run a compare
with the original.
Your backups are your backstop, you can't afford to have doubts
about their integrity. If you are at all suspicious, do a restore to
check.
Regards
Bob

Subject: [Networker] cloning savesets resulted in partial clone
Networkers,
I just ran into a serious problem when cloning savesets:
I have 2 tape drives. client parallellism=4, server parallellism=8. I
ran a full backup of 2 clients and data was streaming to both drives.
As tapes would fill, some savesets were continued on 2nd tape. The 2
clients had savesets written on a total of 3 tapes. No problem.
When I used the gui to clone the savesets (selecting saveset clone not
volume clone) I was presented with the list of savesets. I cloned them,
however, only 2 source tapes were used and it all wrote to 1 tape. (H/W
compression is on both drives.) It appears that savesets that spanned
volumes did not have the data from the spanned volume cloned. The
clone, which filled 2+ tapes, fit on less than 1 tape. When I look at
the volumes (using gui) all 3 volumes list the savesets as cloned.
However I KNOW that the 3rd tape was never loaded. The "completed"
clone tape is 95GB. Tapes 1 and 2 together are 188GB (tape 3 is another
30GB).
Is there an explaination for this networker behaviour?
Thanks
