Ian, I'm at v7.2.2 on Windows and typically stage 500-1000 savesets from afd to 
tape in this manner daily without any issue.

Subject: [Networker] Limit on number of savesets in an nsrclone?

I'm in the process of binary chopping to find the limit, but it appears that 
there is a limit to the number of savesets I can reference in an nsrclone -S -f 
/file/name (Networker 7.3.3 on Solaris 10).  175 is OK, while 250 is too many.

I have a script which implements a policy of writing a daily tape of activity 
in a given pool, but not deleting the files until a week has passed.  Recently 
we wrote a lot of savesets during one day, taking the amount of activity to go 
to tape at night over the magic threshold, from which there is no return.  
nsrwatch shows the clone job start (cloning session: XXX save sets  reading 
from...) but then immediately reports completion, while the client sees the 
messages below.
