Looks like the answer to #1 is No. ;)  I've tried to talk a number of TSM 
admins into this, and so far haven't gotten any takers. They tell me that the 
challenge is that it is another administrative task.  The copy of active data 
does not replace anything you're already doing.  It's an additional copy (that 
must be managed by the expiration process) to an additional pool that must be 
reclaimed just like any other pool.  Both of these increase the number and/or 
duration of administrative tasks, which is the last thing that the TSM admins 
I've talked to want to do.

As to #2, I asked about this a while back, and someone said you could say COPY 
ACTIVE-DATA NODENAME, but that is NOT in the documentation; nor can I find it 
anywhere else.

If you experiment with it, I'd love to see how things go.
