Usage Notes
Note the following information when using this command:
-
You can use a wildcard (
%
) in the source to specify multiple source files, in which case the corresponding target must also contain a matching wildcard. -
All files in a clone operation must be in the same vault.
-
Multiple source and target pairs are permitted. In this case, the source file specifications are considered in order, and only the first match is used.
-
All clones created in the same operation are point-in-time consistent.
