That's an good idea..Let me try it out for a couple of savegroups and see....
To make sure I didnt do too many level 1 backups, I created a convoluted schedule. This is still a testing phase. But for anyone interested, here's my new schedule.
Yes..:-)..but unfortunately I have TS2900 ( single tape drive) and need dual drives to clone. Although I am trying to
get an upgraded library...until then I have to use some hack...if possible
A client side save using "-I" works ( file list derived from a "find"), but then it's not completely automated...even with cron. It needs to make sure the tape media is available etc...

Hi,
You should use cloning to make a copy of the saveset to another pool. You'll find details of Cloning in Chapter 9 of the Administration Guide.

You could try using level backups instead of incremental - this should give you what you want and is quick to test.
