Yes, it is smart enough that it won't backup the data twice.  It keeps
track of all that stuff.

My concern is this. I do not want to back up the data TWICE from the disk
pool to the offsite pool. (Once from disk to offsite pool and again from
onsite tape pool to offsite tape pool.) That is, is *SM smart enough to know
that the data that was backed up to the vault (offsite) pool prior to
migration has already been backed up and will not back it up again from the
onsite tape pool to the offsite pool when the "BACKUP STG TAPEPOOL COPYPOOL"
command is executed?

My environment is TSM 4.1.0.0 on OS390 with 24 3490 tape drives.

Thanks for listening!
