# Understanding TimeFinder/Clone operations for storage group clone sessions

Clone copy sessions enable you to create clone copies of a source volume or storage group on multiple targets.

## Storage group clone sessions

To create a clone of a storage group, run the Protect Storage Group wizard. For more information, see Protect storage groups wizard.

The following management commands are supported for storage group level actions:

- Establish—Establish storage group clone sessions
- Restore—Restore storage group clone sessions
- Split—Split storage group clone sessions
- Terminate—Terminate storage group clone sessions
- Set Mode—Perform set mode operations on storage group clone sessions

The source and target storage groups must have the same non-gatekeeper device count.
