I am dealing with the aftermath of a hardware issue that left me with several clone tapes that were severely underutilized (less than 50 GB used on an LTO-4 cartridge). Sadly, in trying to stage these small fragments to better utilize the media, I am discovering (yet again) that I am also staging large portions of other tapes that were fully utilized and now they are going to be underutilized. I'm almost to the point of scrapping the entire clone run from last week and start over (which of course, I don't have the time to do).

Wouldn't it be really nice if NetWorker provided the capability to stage just the portion of the SSID/CLONEID pair that was on a particular tape volume to a new tape? I think it would be. Does anyone else agree?
