How about creating a new primary pool and copy pool set. When nearly all of the data has expire out of the original set, move the remaining data from the old primary pool to the new primary pool and backup to the new copy pool. Let the expiration reduce amount of data to copy.
If you define a separate device class for each pool, how would you control if multiple storage pool request more tape drives than is available? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark D.

I am missing something in my process above that might make things simpler? This is definitely a time when I wish I could just poke something into the TSM DB!
