I need advice with the best way to move data that is currently on 3490
     cartridges to DLT. We are currently setup as:

     Backuppool     primary disk pool         (SSA disks)
     Backuptape     Primary onsite tape pool  (3490 cartridges)
     Copytape       Copy offsite tape pool    (3490 cartridges)

     I defined :

     Backup-DLT-tape primary onsite tape pool (DLT)
     Copy-DLT-tape   copy offsite tape pool   (DLT)

     I was going to update Backuptape to have the migration stgpool be
     Backup-DLT-tape and then set migration down to 0% for high and low.
     Once that is done then issue a "backup stgpool Backup-DLT-tape
     Copy-DLT-tape". Once this is complete I believe I should be able to
     delete the Backuptape and Copytape stgpools and be using just the
     Backup-DLT-tape and Copy-DLT-tape.

     Is this correct and the best way to do this ?
     Or should I update Backuptape for the reclaim stgpool to be
     Backup-DLT-tape and then set reclaim to be at 0%. Followed once
     completed by the "backup stgpool Backup-DLT-tape Copy-DLT-tape"

     I am looking for the easiest way to move all the data and also not
     loose any of it.

     Thanks for any suggestion or info from all in advance.
