I think you mean the Restore Volume and Restore Stgpool commands.
They are simple to use and work fine - providing that a Backup Stgpool had secured a copy of the file(s) in question, and that the copypool tape is available at restoral time. You can verify if all of a primary tape's data got copied via the 'Query CONTent ... COPied=No' command. Copying would fail if the original primary pool tape had a defect where the backup file had been written. You may want to perform 'Query Volume ... Format=Detailed' on a sampling of some tapes to see if read/write errors are accumulating on your tapes - which is to say that this may not be the only tape with problems. All in a day's administration.

If you do have to perform a Restore Volume, do a Move Data first, to greatly reduce the overall amount of time (mounts).
