  At my site we have a very simple shell script which determines what
"full" backups in the "ONSITE" pool haven't been cloned and then runs an
nsrclone.  It works great except one problem.  Our library has 3 drives
and the clones can take quite a while when only 1 is used.  Does anyone
have a relatively simple script that'll run on a Unix (Linux) system and
run clones out to multiple drives?

  We've considered using a modification of the script and running 3
copies out of cron but then we hit a race condition with the cleanup
scripts which currently run right after the single clone process.
