Dietmar,
of course it's possible.
I guess your Onsite Primary Pool is collocated and your Copy Pool isn't (As
general!)
So each Migration writes some Data to the collocated Onsite-Volumes and the
BACKUP Process copies the amount of Data to one (or more) Offsite Copy Volumes.
Let's say you need 1 COPY Volume per day.
Than to Restore your Primary Volume you need all the COPY Volumes from the last
105 Days (in your example) , when Data was stored on your Primary Volume and
copied to the Offsite Backup Volume.

Hi,

My Problem is, that one of our tapes in the library is destroyed.
I thought, no problem we have a outside copy pool...

restore volume A00xxx preview=yes
shows me about 105 tapes

now I have to checkin 105 tapes......

Is this possible?

We are using TSM 4.1.3 / AIX 4.3.3...
