"backup stg primary_pool copy_pool preview=vol wait=yes" 

This will tell you if any primary_pool volumes are needed to get the
copy_pool in sync.   Just run without the "preview=vol" to actually
create the additional copy_pool volumes.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Best way to compare the pools ?

We have primary pool and offsite pool. We run backup from primary to
offsite pool everyday using cron. I was wondering what is the best
practice to copy primary to offsite pool ? Also how do I compare the two
pools to see if offsite is caught up with primary. Typically I use q * *
stg=primarypool & q * * stg=offsitepool but it takes a long time to run
these commands & compare the output.

Appreciate  any help 

Thanks,
Ashok
