I always do. :-) However, ssflags reports the state of the original 
saveset. clflags will report the state of a clone instance, but it's not 
always clear, IMO. For example, here an extract from an mminfo query of 
one Netware client with two (cloned) volumes. Space has been inserted for 
clarity:

# mminfo -ar 
'ssid,client,name,totalsize,ssflags,clflags,pool,sumsize,sumflags' -q 
"group=group1,client=clnt1" -t '3 days ago' -on

 ssid      client name         total  ssflags clflg pool     size   fl

1. That's a total of 781 GB for the backup itself (bupool), reported 
   within NMC as 782 GB, BTW. totalsize works out to 782 GB, too.
2. This is easier, since it's just a smaller, one-tape backup.
3. Total of 779 GB in the clone pool (clpool).


Does the sumflag 't' (tail) in the clone pool indicate it's complete? The 
clone flags show nothing to the contrary, but... ?

If I look in the console (Media|Save Sets|Save Set List, appropriately 
filtered), for SS2: it just says "browseable cloned on 06/27/10 22:18", 
yada yada, which is almost 12 hours after the backup completed (according 
to the sscomp value and what I saw in the daemon.log).

So, does the listing in the console indicate success and a completion 
time?

...and 'validcopies' does indeed sound very handy, but we're on 7.5.1, not 
7.6. It appears as if in 7.5.1, the invalid count was rolled into 'copies' 
without offering the clarification of 'validcopies'...

Thanks!
