If you do the Q CONTENT you may want to limit it with COUNT=1. You don't care 
WHAT the list of files that haven't been copied, just
if there IS any. Else you'll get a list of every file on that volume that 
hasn't been copied.

You can also use the 'q content {stg_pool_volume} copied=no'  This may be of 
help.

"backup stg primary_pool copy_pool preview=vol wait=yes"

This will tell you if any primary_pool volumes are needed to get the
copy_pool in sync.   Just run without the "preview=vol" to actually
create the additional copy_pool volumes.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Best way to compare the pools ?

We have primary pool and offsite pool. We run backup from primary to offsite 
pool everyday using cron. I was wondering what is the
best practice to copy primary to offsite pool ? Also how do I compare the two 
pools to see if offsite is caught up with primary.
Typically I use q *
*
stg=primarypool & q * * stg=offsitepool but it takes a long time to run these 
commands & compare the output.

Appreciate  any help

Thanks,
Ashok
