Greetings. We're confused about what gets put in the Copy Storage
Pool.
Do the Inactive versions get put there, as well as the Active
version ?

Yes.  From the 5.4 AIX Admin Guide:
"Copy storage pools and active-data pools provide additional levels
of data protection for clients. Copy storage pools can contain any
combination of active and inactive data, archive data, or space-
migrated data. Active-data pools, on the other hand, contain only
active versions of client backup data."


(The uncertainty has arisen because our copy-pool tapes seem too empty
 to be holding all the data we thought they were supposed to be
holding.)

Without knowing the basis for that belief, check that your Backup
Stgpool operations are running to completion, and that such an
operation is being performed on each primary storage pool in the
hierarchy.
