You don't really need DRM to do what you described, although it might
make it more convenient.  Storage pool backup is always incremental
so you only produce copies of files that have not already been copied.
Do this by issuing the Backup Stgpool command every morning.  You can
automate this by scheduling the Backup Stgpool command using
the administrative command scheduling facility (Define Schedule).
When you're ready to take the copy storage pool volumes offsite,
use the Update Volume command to change the access mode of these volumes
to offsite.  Please see the Admin Guide and Admin Reference for details.
