If I understand how PREPARE creates the DR plan file, this order will
result in a recovery script that won't work like you expect.  It will
mark all the copy pool and DB backup tapes still on-site at the time
PREPARE was run as DESTROYED.

If you reverse the order (MOVE DRMEDIA first, then PREPARE), the plan
file will think the most recent DB backup and copy pool tapes are
available for use (because they were considered off-site at the time).
