Joe,
        One option would be to create a backup copy pool, making sure you run
the BACKUP STGPOOL while the data is still in  the disk storagepool,
before it gets migrated to tape.  This does present a problem as to how
to run reclamation against the backup storagepool, at least until you
get a second tape drive.
