The "Backup stg" command depends on pointers that are suppose to
inidcate the last backed up data so that it spends less time scanning
what to backup.  There have been apars where that process gets broken
and not all the primary storagepool data gets backed up to copypool.
The Select would spot such a condition but the "backup stg preview"
would not.

Wouldn't a "BACKUP STGPOOL <primary pool> <copypool> PREVIEW=Y"
be sufficient to get the number of files and the amount of data?
Or does it take too long? If the result is not null you know that the
pools are not in sync.
