Milton,

You move data solution will not work.  TSM does not allow you to move
data from one copy pool to another.  You can move data between primary
pools but copy pools are not allowed.

You could:

1) Create 2 offsite copypools (say OFF1 and OFF2)

2) Day 1 - for each volume in OFF1
          do
              move data volume stg=oFF2 reconstruct=yes
          done
          backup stg primarypool OFF2
          Bring back all OFF1 volume that are offsite

3) Day 2 - for each volume in OFF2
          do
              move data volume stg=oFF1 reconstruct=yes
          done
          backup stg primarypool OFF1
          Bring back all OFF1 volume that are offsite

4) Day 3 - go to step 2

Subject: Re: BACKUP STG COMMAND

Hey!

In an effort to minimize the number of tapes that go off site, is there
an option that I can add to the backup stg command to copy everything in
the primary pool to the copy pool, and resets the previous copy, and
creates a new copy?

Thanks!
