I ran into this many times, the only way I found that would speed it up after 
the fact is to increase the mount retention time on the tape device class.
To avoid this I had to keep my copy pools in offsite status.

Subject: Restore using copypool volumes

Just noticed that some restores are using copypool volumes. No primary
volumes are in disorder and there is nothing in the actlog indicating why a
tape from the copypool is chosen.

I vaguely rememeber that this was a problem for early 7.1-versions of the
server. We are running 7.1.3.1.

There is a queue of sessions requesting tapes from the primary pools but if
it is a "feature" to lessen the burden on our libraries I would like to be
in control.

Is this a known problem for this version or should i PMR?

Regards,

Hans Chr.
