Hello,

You know what,  I went thru this myself  few days ago.  Trying to figure
out why a TDP client was mounting two tapes with setup with a single
channel backup.
1st time  the backup failed because it failed due to mount point.. it was
set to 1.   Increased the mount point to 2  (Maximum Mount Points Allowed)
and the backup completed of course mounted 2 tapes.   Sure enough one was
for onsite pool and other was for offsite pool.

This seems like a cool feature.. but due to limited # of drives decided
against using the feature.  I had.  Ended up updating COPYSTGpools with
blank.
Based on my experience, the answer is yes.  2 or more..

If mynode is backing up to onsite-tape-pool which has
COPYSTGpools=offsite-tape-pool
COPYContinue=yes
Then 2 tapes are mounted during mynode backup, one for backup and one for
copy.  Does this mean, I used 2 mount points for mynode?  So mynode
definition should have maximum mount points allowed=2 (or more)?

Thanks,  Deb
