Paul,

That is a feature that we rely upon.

Our year-end close-out files go to a separate data path through our system.
Once I have the first copy from the server, I back up to Copypool for a
second copy, then pull both copies for offline storage.  I flag both tapes
as "unavailable" and that exempts them from normal TSM reclamation, etc.
So three years from now, for example, I *still* know which tapes hold which
year-end files and their locations have not changed.
