If you deleted volumes while at the 5.2.0.0. level of the server, please see 
apar IC36462.  At that level, once you delete copypool volumes, the primary 
pool equivalents DO NOT get rebacked up.  This leaves you with a hole in your 
offsite backups.  The bug is fixed in later releases but the existing data does 
not get rebacked up without manual intervention.  You have to go thru and 
"RESET BACKUP vol" on all the primary volumes involved to get things resolved.

I don't know if there is a change in 5.3 as we have not upgraded yet, but I 
just went through this process in November/December when we upgraded our tape 
environment.  The only option was to backup data from the primary pool to the 
new copypool, just like you stated.  The good/bad news(depends on how you look 
at it) is...we had 500 TB of data to do this with and over 6000 tapes to 
delete.  I ended up building command scripts to delete the volumes, much easier 
than hitting each on separately.  Also the data copied much quicker than 
expected and we were done in 2 months...

Richard.  Where do you find the time to remember all this !

A very interesting idea/process. Would work great for small amounts of
data !

Unfortunately,  I have 20TB to move/recopy !

Thanks for the pointer, though !
