There is no exact 1 <--> 1 mapping between copy storage pool volumes and
primary storage pool volumes. The data needed to restore a single primary
pool volume could reside on one or more copy storage pool volumes, and a
copy storage pool volume could contain data for more than one primary
storage pool volume.

To find out what copy storage pool volumes are used to back up a primary
storage pool volume, you can run RESTORE VOLUME with PREVIEW=YES for the
primary storage pool volume.

Off-hand, I can't think of any way to find out what primary pool volumes
are backed up by a particular copy storage pool volume.

Is there an easy way to tell what backup volumes are backups of what
primary volumes. For instance How can I tell whose whose mate if that
makes
any sense?
