Milton, You move data solution will not work. TSM does not allow you to move data from one copy pool to another. You can move data between primary pools but copy pools are not allowed.

You could: 1) Create 2 offsite copypools (say OFF1 and OFF2) 2) Day 1 - for each volume in OFF1 do move data volume stg=oFF2 reconstruct=yes done backup stg primarypool OFF2 Bring back all OFF1 volume that are offsite 3) Day 2 - for each volume in OFF2 do move data volume stg=oFF1 reconstruct=yes done backup stg primarypool OFF1 Bring back all OFF1 volume that are offsite 4) Day 3 - go to step 2 -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Becar Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 1:16 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: BACKUP STG COMMAND Hey! In an effort to minimize the number of tapes that go off site, is there an option that I can add to the backup stg command to copy everything in the primary pool to the copy pool, and resets the previous copy, and creates a new copy? Thanks!
