Can I make a suggestion in that you do not set the onsite tapes to
destroyed... if you do this TSM will force you to rebuild the onsite volumes
to do the restore from where as setting the tapes to unavailable, TSM will
use the copypool ones... (note - you need to make sure the copypool tapes
are checked in and available to TSM)

Cheers
