Yes, instead of using move data on each offsite tape, let offsite
reclamation do the job for you.  If you lower the reclaim percentage on
your copy storage pool, reclamation will kick off for eligible offsite
volumes.   Offsite reclamation will work on all of these eligible
offsite tapes at the same time which will result in the onsite primary
tape volumes only being mounted once.  (Except for maybe files spanning
two volumes.)
