In out case we have a 2nd tape library in a 2nd building. One library
holds primary storage pool, the 2nd holds copypools. The primary storage
pool is colocated for efficient restores, the copypools are not. Neither
have to have tapes checked out.

pool, never having been marked off site.<<

We keep our **primary** storage pool in our tape library also.  It is
the DR copy pool volumes we send offsite.  In a disaster, they
wouldn't
do us any good if they were destroyed with the data center!
