Yes. I use Copy jobs to copy full backups on volumes in pool "full" onto 
volumes in pool "offsite". This ensures that the offsite tapes have the 
most recent full available, while leaving the most recent full onsite at 
all times. I use three sets of offsite media, keeping the two most 
recent at the offsite location.
