We are using several pools with various names, there is no need to use
'backuppool' and 'tapepool' etc.

The 'pointer' to the pools is in the copygroups. You have to change
every copygroup to point to the other pool.

In addition, You *should* define a second 'copy' storagepool and
schedule 'backup stgpool' on a daily basis. If not, and a tape is
damaged, Your data is gone. And - with incrementals - You might not have
any other version to restore.
