Just think of the clone as of another pointer that is linked to the same 
place (same index).
       It does not have separate entries in the index database.
       That basically means if you expire either clone or the original volume 
all the indexes will be gone.
       So, answering your question, you would need to scan the clone tape to 
restore the index.

I want to set up a group to have a clone that I offsite and store for a
year, however I need to recycle the original tapes for reuse within a
month.  I know that when you set up the clone pool you have to click off
'store index entries', but if you recycle the original volumes before
the clone should expire, will the indexes need to be recovered in order
to restore off that data?



Pools: Monthly, Monthly Clone

Browse Policy: 1 Months

Retention Policy: 1 Year



Right before the next monthly backup I recycle(by a short shell script)
the volumes in the monthly pool, then the new clones are created and
offsited, etc.  Am I doing this right, or will I run across problems
restoring?



Thanks,



Adam
