Ahh right.  I thought cloning was only ever a single sequential operation.
We're cloning off a DataDomain so I can see why it could multiplex to the clone 
tape - just didn't think it did, as we're running a single nsrclone command 
which gets the SSID's to clone from a file.

I'll investigate the 'time in the future' thing when the clone runs next time.  
It just seems a bit odd to show a time in the future, as if it's predicting 
when those clones will finish ;-)

Cheers... allan.

Subject: [Networker] Clone time...

It is my understanding thet NW will create multiplexecd cloned save sets if 
possible. This will of course most likely happen, when the save sets to be 
cloned are multiplexed as well (ttape-to-tape). This would explain the same 
clone time.

Yes, only the combination ssid/cloneid identifies a backup instance uniquely.

The cloneide is nothing else but the UNIX timestamp - use a coverter (online on 
the web) to verify the result.
