Yes, you can cancel the backup storage pool command.  When you issue the
command you may want to use maxpr to use more than 1 process (2 drives) so
you can get it done faster.

The process may not immediately cancel, but when finishes the aggregate it
is copying and tries to go to the next it will stop.

Subject: backup storge pool


I want to make off site copies of my storage pool for the obvious reasons. I
currently have about 100 3590E tapes that I need to initially duplicate and
then plan on doing a backup storage pool everyday and send those tapes off
site.  It is my understanding that to start this whole process I need to do
a backup storage pool which will copy all 100 tapes.  My question is whether
I can cancel that backup command and have it again restart where it left
off.  I need all my tape drives from 8:00pm to 8:00 am for backups and it
will take much longer than the remaining 12 hours to duplicate that data.

Thanks
