Monte,
Do you have copycontinue=yes? If so, you can have data in the primary pool
that isn't in the copypool.
Regardless, I still set up a backup stgpool just in case something snuck the
primary pool. The good news is that if simultaneous writes all worked,
there is no work for the backupstg pool so it finishes immediately with no
work to perform.

Subject: simultaneous writes to copy storage pools
fyi:
If you turn on simultaneous writes to copy storage pools, do you still need
to perform a backup of that storage pool via the BACKUP STGPOOL command?
For instance... We back up our large Exchange servers to a primary storage
pool 3590EXCHPOOL. These exchange clients backup exchange data directly to
3590 tape volumes. Then when all Exchange backups have completed for the
night, we backup the 3590EXCHPOOL storage pool to the 3494COPY storage pool
via the BACKUP STGPOOL command (ex. backup stgpool 3590exchpool 3494copy).
If I was to invoke the simultaneous writes of this storage pool to the
3494copy pool, would I still need to perform a backup of the
3590EXCHPOOL --> to the 3494COPY storage pool on a nightly basis.
Any help or input would be much appreaciated..
..Monte
