Maybe something like...

 B=BEGIN  # eg B="7/2/04 2300"
 E=END    # eg E="7/3/04 2259"

 # inspect the list of save sets...
 mminfo -q '!incomplete,level=full,'"savetime>$B,savetime<$E"

 # inspect the list of source tapes...
 mminfo -r volume -q '!incomplete,level=full,'"savetime>$B,savetime<$E"

 # generate the list of ssids...
 mminfo -r ssid -q '!incomplete,level=full,'"savetime>$B,savetime<$E"
   | tee /var/tmp/ssid-list

 # do it...
 nohup sudo nsrclone -S `cat /var/tmp/ssid-list` > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null &

?

(Refer to the example section of man nsrclone)
