Steve,

For #2, no, you don't want to do that, as you'd be making copies of this
data back to the original server - making copies of you copy pool data.
You'd never finish updating the copy pools, as you'd always be creating
more data in the primary pool.  It's a circular path for the data, and it
would keep going around and around and around and around...  You definitely
want to make a second storage pool for the remote servers data storage.
