[Networker] Will staged save sets still be browsable?

Hi,

I have a volume (volume=ARC358L4; barcode=ARC358L4, pool=ARC) that Ilabeled into the wrong pool. I later made the tape read-only so no morewrites will occur to this tape. There's a little bit of data on it, andI'd like to stage all those save sets to a volume in the correct pool(ARC) and then relabel that tape into the correct pool (ARC Clone). Allof the data on this tape is browsable.

My understanding is that the staging process will clone the save sets toan appendable volume in the target pool (ARC) and then remove the mediadatabase entries for the old save sets listed on that volume (ARC358L4).BUT once the staging has completed, will the new clone copies of thesesave sets still be browsable? In other words, if someone should need torecover one of those save sets using a browsable recover, will NW knowto use the new volume that these were staged to?

I don't care about increasing the retention or expiration date on thosesave sets. They are browsable as they are now for several more months. Ijust want to ensure that once they're staged (they'll obviously receivenew cloneid values but still retain the same ssids), they will still bebrowsable.

I guess staging is really the same as cloning, with the caveat that theoriginal copy is then removed from the database and also from disk,assuming a file type device; otherwise, it remains physically on tapeuntil overwritten. My experience with cloning is that the cloned savesets are likewise browsable, but just thought I'd check to make sure inthe case of nsrstage.


Thanks.

George
