If you use Delete Volume Discarddata=Yes to delete a volume from a copy
storage pool, all database references to copies residing on that volume
are deleted.  It is as if those files had never been backed up to
that copy storage pool.  The next time you back up the storage pool(s)
in which the primary copies of the files reside, new backup copies will
be created in the copy storage pool.
