Hello Tim,

If you don't relabel the file devices you could get the ssid and cloneid of
the old savesets on the devices through mmifo, and then delete this
savesets.

mminfo -a -q"sscreate<=2 months ago, volume=xxx" -r "ssid,cloneid" > file

write a script to delete the savesets from the file


nsrmm -d -y -Sssid/cloneid"

Betreff: [Networker] Cloning

Hello,

one of our clients is working with a backup server with local disk
storage.  They do a backup to disk devices (instead of tape drives) and
have a L9 robot attached to the server too.  Once a month they perform a
full backup and clone this to the tape drive.  After 2 months, the data
has to be removed from the local disk drives, but this is not so easy. 
1 disk device is 400 GB, and a full backup is 100 GB.  They need 4 fulls
to fill a disk drive (but that's 4 months).  How can they remove the
oldest cycle without loosing the clone saveset too?  You can relabel the
volume, but then you have to wait until the last saveset is 2 months old
(and the oldes 6 months).
