If files are stored in your disk pool while that pool is being backed up, it is
possible that the current storage pool backup will miss these files.  However,
the files will be copied the next time you back up your primary storage pools,
even if they have migrated to another pool.  Thus, if your primary pools are
backed up every day, you will have a 24-hour window during which the most recent
files will only be stored in the primary storage pool.
