Hello,

you may clone (nsrclone -b "clone_pool" volume_name) themselves, in order to
force Networker to read all savesets on this tape or issue a "scanner -i -n"
command on tapes to verify them.

If you clone the volume, only savesets beginning on this tape will be cloned,
thus if there are savesets beginning on another tape and continuing on the tape
to be cloned, they will not be copied.

Hope this help.
