Hi, Sadly there is no normal way to tell tsm what stg pool to use during restore. Tbh the automatic way seems to be bugged (as it happely seems to use slow storage pools, lan based with higher volumes to be mounted over fast lanfree capable pools).
The documented work around is to update all volumes you dont want to select for restores as offsite. In our case we made a daily admin sched to update all full/filling copypool tapes to offsite.

I can see some advantages to using a copy storage pool on-site as well as the primary storage pool, but why not use the DDR to replicate the copy storage pool to off-site instead of defining the second storage pool to TSM? DDRs are good at replication, and doing it this way would simplify your TSM processes (and, presumably, scripts).
