Assuming you have an on-site primary tapepool and maintain an off-site
copypool, this option identifies the primary pool tapes, but not copypool
tapes.  However, the copypool tapes are the ones which should be used in
DR testing.

Hi Brian,

There is one other option, one that I believe I saw posted some time ago
in
this list.  If you're only after a few machines, and the scope of the
restore is limited, you can try the following:

At the client in question, add the line

TAPEPrompt Yes

to the dsm.opt file.  Then go through the restore, and each time a tape is
needed, you'll see a prompt for it by volser.  At that point you can just
press "Skip" to go to the next tape.  We have used this method to pre-load
some standalone 3590s during DR tests.
