Hi Jon,

reasonnably, if you just export copy tapes to your offsite vault,
and no backups/archives are running during the WE, you can lower the
reclaim threshold to 60% for your copy stg pools. During the week,
put this value to 100% to be sure NOT to reclaim offsite tapes.

Is mainly depend on how many drives you have and how much data you
have to move. If you have collocated stg, reclaim offsite stg is
faster.

Hope this helps
