You cannot make a copy of one volume onto another.

You're thinking in terms of old backup philosophies--something that TSM is
not adept at doing. (Not that you'd really want it to, anyway.)

What are you trying to accomplish? If you're trying to get an additional
copy of your data in a weekly and monthly cycle, use archiving instead. Do
the regular daily backup as you are not doing. Create two additional
management classes, one with an archive copygroup using a 7-day designation
and the other with an archive copygroup using a 30-day retention. Now run an
weekly archive of your db2 data every Friday with the first new management
class, and and a monthly archive of the same data once a month with the
second new class.
