Thanks to you Juraj, 

it is good idea for me and a little rescue in prepared solution for our
customer (he wants "incrased" security of data providing copy backups and
prepared solition has only one tape drive - exactly LTO Autoloader - and we
swear to solve it). Good point is that diskpool can be big enough (about
50GB for cca 130GB of whole amount of backuped data).

But another one question: is posible to ensure, that data moved from clients
to primary disk storage pool will not be NEVER migrated to tape pool befor
backuping them to copy tape pool? The only way that occures to me is
changing (by scheduled script) NEXT_STG_POOL parametr for diskpool, exactly
disable it before copy backup and enable it after copy backup and then
migrate data. I think that emptying NEXT_STG_POOL parametr ensure, that data
cannot be migrated there. Please tell me, if is it good idea, of if exist
some bettter solution.

Thanx
Tom
