Like any other write operation, it'll pull from tapes either already in the
destination pool name, "-dp <destpool>", or from your scratch pool, "vmpool
-listscratch", if you have one defined.

It will not deassign a tape from a non-scratch pool and assign it to your
destination pool.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] bpduplicate question


Quick question.  When specifying the '-dp poolname' with bpduplicate, 
does the
command allocate tapes for the copy from your default pool (e.g. 
NetBackup) and
then assign them to the pool specified when the copy finishes?  Or in 
other words,
what's the source pool from which the tape used from the copy is 
allocated from?
If a scratch pool is defined, will it automatically pull from scratch?


Thanks,

John
