Curious as to why you are using the disk pool with migration to DD instead of having your backups write directly to the DD.

It will be configured as a file device via NFS mount. DD replication of the primary file device pool to the DR site will be use so there will be no copypool. We will still use a diskpool with migration into the file device pool, and this brings up a problem. The majority of backups come in over night into diskpool and get migrated. But some backups (Oracle archive logs, long running backups from remote sites and some others) come in at any time around the clock. Since DR relies on DD replication of the primary file device pool, we MUST make sure that at some point every file in diskpool gets migrated. With ongoing backups coming into diskpool, migration to 0% may never complete. The one thought we had was to once a day (after migration completed) run movedata on each diskpool volume. We've asked DD this question, but so far they haven't provided an answer. Thanks!
