    Hi
    
    The 'NetWorker Save and Restore Application Interface for SAP/R3 v1.1
    Administrator's Guide' mentions, on p.17, that "sapclone uses
    "nsrclone" to initiate the cloning operation'.  Why is sapclone needed? 
    Are the savesets created by the NetWorker AI for SAP somehow different
    than other savesets?
    
    Thanks!

| As you guessed, sapclone is a shell script that automates/simplifies access to cloning of SAP savesets. Since SAP provides a list of files to the save operation, which the SAP R/3 interface application passes through to a NetWorker save command, the SAP data is saved in normal NetWorker savesets, but with ID's like "backint:ora<SID>" (SID = ORACLE_SID, and "ora<SID>" is, per backint spec, the user ID doing the operation (save/restore)). When one wants to clone the savesets, sapclone gathers the interesting ones (default, last 24 hrs) via mminfo command (extracting the ssid's) and then issueing nsrclone...<ssid-list>. Legato was trying to be nice to the average NetWorker user, since SAP savesets had to be named differently than "normal" (eg, the save path). | |||||

|     Ah!  Thanks very much for the illumination.  I copied sapv11.tar and
    took a look at sapclone.  I was concerned that these SAP savesets would
    not fit into my automated clone procedure, but it looks like they will.
    
    Thanks again!
