Hi Mark, thanks for that

I have indeed been backing up the new primary storage pools to the new 
copypool. So I guess that each time I moved data from the old primary to the 
new primary, this would have been taken into account when I backed up the 
primary pools to the copypool.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding that right.

Thanks again

Farren

Data can be moved from volume to volume within a single copy pool, but
cannot be moved from one copy pool to another.

Besides, if you've regularly backed up your primary pools to the new
copy pool, there isn't any need. You'll want to write a script that runs

        del vol <vol_name> discarddata=yes

for each volume in the old copy pool, to clean out TSM database entries
for data stored on the old pool.
