Ok. That will probably affect my operations ... I would like to extend my
question a little more.

I can create export tapes without exporting data. I mean, I can export only
the definitions and track of data on storage pools tapes.

My point is, I would like to combine tape vaulting with the ability to
recover the client node on other site.

So I hope the only things I need are the export tape of the client (no
data), the data copy tapes (which I already have vaulted for security) and
no DB backup at all (at least for this action ! Does not mean I won't vault
my db backup !)

Is it correct ?

No problem at all !
