NOTE: this is not the tape-to-tape copy mentioned in the subject.

Well, first, don't try to figure HOW to do it quite yet.

Figure out what you want to have happen.  Don't express it in terms of
the three steps above.  But in terms of what copies your want where…

So.. given backup job X on disk,  n days later, I want a copy of that job X 
in Pool B.  Y days alter, I want Job X in Pool C.

Ignore that one is disk, one is tape.  Then it should be easier.
