Hi,

you problem is the sama as Arnaud's I replied to just seconds ago. The data
in the old copypool does not dissapear until it is expired, or until you
explicitly delete the volumes with discarddata=y. This last action is a bit
dangerous is the sense that you fulle depend on the other data on that tape
to be valid on the primary storage pool. On the next backup storage pool
cycle you old big copy pool will be updated to again contain at least all
data you still want to be in there.

If you have the possibility, you could create copypools for all of you
primary storagepools, do backup storage pool for all primairy pools and then
delete all volumes in your old copypool.
