You can exclude the files and on next backup the active version will become inactive. Further handling will be through verd&reto settings in the copygroup. If you need immediate removal from the server storage the procedure is more tricky: - define special mgmtclass with vere=1, verd=rete=reto=1 -

You cannot accomplish such a single file move. You can move all contents of the volume (using "move data") or move all data from any volume to a storage pool (since v5.1, using "move nodedata").
