Hi All

I have a situation.

Exch DAG backups are saved to 1st-DD. Then that is cloned to 2nd-DD and resides in Clone pool using Nwkr clone controlled.

I need to clone from 2nd-DD to tape. So i ran a mminfo query to get just the ssid/cloneid which resides on 2nd-DD only.

Have verified all comes from 2nd-DD devices(by checking pool name,devices and ssid/cloneid) . Entered that in clone job called Clone2Tape under Clone Specific save sets (save set ID/Clone ID field). Storage node to WRITE save set: is the one that have access to 2nd DD devices and the clone device.

When the job is started, it is trying to mount the DD devices from 1st DD for clone operation. I am curious at this stage as none of the ssid/cloneid have any ref to 1st-DD. Retention is up to Sept 13 for all save sets.

Any thoughts on why Networker behaves like that when have enforced on what cloneid to pickup from? Thank you
