Well, pool_a are 2 tapedrives. In the near future we have a very tight
schedule for both the tapedrives. They probably will be taping about 23
hours a day (1 hour maintenance window). So I don't think it is a good
idea to get the data from tape again. And you have the risk that the
tape isn't in the robot anymore.
