Hi...

So if i wanted these to be kept offsite AND onsite, do I need to
issue a
manual copy command?

The following is speculation, but I'll bet a beer at SCIDS that the
premise is valid.

If you want two backup sets, run the command twice. Presumably, after
each one, you'll CHECKOUT the LIBVOLs on which the backup set was
created. What you do with the media once it's out of the library is up
to you. Send one to an off-site repository, or store one is a user's
office so they "know" they have a copy of their data, it's up to them.

Like database backups, backup sets are created on a device type but
are not part of storage pools. They're just "different."

Remind me, why are you so gung-ho to have backup sets in the first
place? What problem are you solving?
