It's been quite a long time since NetWorker demultiplexed clones. It's "assumed 
knowledge" that frequently trips up long-term NetWorker users when we've come 
from long enough ago that it used to do it...

It will only do so if the saveset(s) you have elected to clone just simply 
aren't multiplexed together. (E.g., when cloning ADV_FILE -> tape, or a single 
saveset at a time.)

This has been documented in various tests, discussions on this list and 
PowerLink solutions  (e.g., 
https://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg58935) and Curtis did a set 
of confirmation tests & blogged about it in 2008 
(http://www.backupcentral.com/content/view/41/47/)

Cheers,

Preston.
