There is a planned feature - don't know if it's in 5.1 or not - called "move
nodedata", that will let you do exactly what you want.  it will probably be
something like
        move nodedata node1,node2,... from-pool to-pool
and you'll be able to parallelize that between several tape dirves, or
restore only archives / only backups, or just resotre a particular
filespace.

Sorry I don't know more about delivery date.
