Robert, 1. No, you don't have to do the move data first. You might not even have the original tape if it were lost or broken. Before you do the restore volume, you must mark it destroyed, however. The reason for the move data is to save time if you have the original and some data is restorable - without it you will likely need more copypool tapes and require more tape mounts than if you get that data directly from the source.
2. If all the copypool tapes are in a library and mountable, the restore will be automatic. If not, the command will fail. If you keep copypool tapes offsite (which you should) then you should issue the RESTORE VOLUME xxxxxx PREVIEW=YES first, query the activity log to see which tapes are required to restore the volume, call those tapes from your offsite vendor, put them in the library, and reissue the restore without the preview.

Hello I need to be sure about the correct steps to manage a damage tape and the fastest way: 1. Did I need to make a MOVE DATA and AUDIT VOL fix=yes instead to do right away a RESTORE VOL from the copypool (I think I will gain time ...) and a DEL VOL of the damage tape. 2. If during a restore process files are required from a damage tape did TSM will automatically restore them from the copypool (or I need to run a manually restore volume ...).
