Well, in order to restore from the Copy tapes, yes, you have to purge the
original
tapes...
But you don't have to purge the original tapes if you want to do a normal
routine restore. Even if you pull out the Copy tapes from your library right
after
a Copy Job (which is the hole idea), your restores will work normally like
there
never was a Copy Job ran before...
The original tapes will stay intact on your on-site location and you'll use
these
original tapes to do your restores. You will only use your "copy jobs" tapes
in
case of a disaster...
