Not quite. Copy pools are normally not colocated...so are not clones of
storage pools.

As Andy touched on yesterday, a given file has only one policy
affecting it;
so you cannot have multiple policies for the same file.
Realizing that file identity is a combination of node, filespace, and
filename,
you could, however, employ differing file system identies on the client
to
effect different identities and thus use different managment classes
for the
same data - but, of course, multiple copies of the same data, which
multiplies
your storage requirements.
"Offsite" means copy storage pools, which are exact images of onsite
primary
storage pools, so no fooling around.
I would seek to have "They" removed from the premises.  Whimsical data
storage requirements waste valuable time.
