In Networker 7.x there was a change in the way "volume" clones are
handled.
In NW 6.x all savesets existing on the specified volume will be cloned,
including continuations from and to other volumes.
In NW 7.x ONLY savesets STARTING on the specified volume will be cloned.
Savesets continued from other volumes will not be cloned.

Subject: [Networker] Cloning using volume name
Hi,
If you clone all the savesets on volume2 using: nsrclone -b clone_pool
volume2
and the first 4 savesets are continued from volume1 will NetWorker clone
these, too? I know it will clone savesets that continue onto volume3 but
not sure about those that continue from a previous volume.
Here's my concern. I cloned all the savesets on volume1 using the above
command. 4 of these savesets continued onto volume2, and networker
happily loaded volume2 and cloned those. It took 2 clone volumes to
clone volume1. The second clone volume is 30% full. No problems. But,
I'd now like to clone the rest of the savesets on volume2. Seems easiest
to just run the same clone command again but specify volume2, but if
networker re-clones the first 4 that were continued from volume1 then it
will not be able to write these to the second clone volume since those
savesets have already been cloned there. It will then want to load clone
volume3. I'd like to avoid that. Could just specify all the savesets but
those 4, but that's more of a pain. So starting thinking that maybe
networker will not clone savesets that continued from another volume and
only those that are either completely contained on the volume or
continue onto, but not from, another volume? That true?
We're running 6.1.1. on Solaris.
Thanks.
George
