Darren,

Can I clone the whole lot ,say from ABC001, with:
nsrclone -b "Clone" ABC001 ?

I'd like to move all the save sets.
Otherwise I'd need to write a loop
foreach SID in `list`
do
      nsrclone -S ....
done
I guess it will take longer.

Regards,

Glen

nsrclone, generally.

scanner -i rebuilds the file indexes. You don't need the file indexes
to clone.

Do you at least have the media indexes? If so, you can create a clone
pool for the LTO tapes, run 'mminfo' to get the savesets of the old
tapes, then run nsrclone on them to the clone pool.
