I'm not quite sure I'm understanding *why* you'd want to delete the data
on the volume in the first place - if you simply wanted to return the
physical volume to the scratch pool, wouldn't a 'move data' of its
contents to another volume achieve that without getting the sledgehammer
out?

Just a  note, Only active files will be backed up, you'll lose all
inactive versions.

The data will be backed up once again by TSM.  If you do a delete volume
on the primary, the references to the copy data will also be deleted,
and a backup stg will pick that up as well.
