Dietmar, of course it's possible. I guess your Onsite Primary Pool is collocated and your Copy Pool isn't (As general!) So each Migration writes some Data to the collocated Onsite-Volumes and the BACKUP Process copies the amount of Data to one (or more) Offsite Copy Volumes. Let's say you need 1 COPY Volume per day. Than to Restore your Primary Volume you need all the COPY Volumes from the last 105 Days (in your example) , when Data was stored on your Primary Volume and copied to the Offsite Backup Volume.
