Hello Andy, If you want to use new copy pools without changing existing copy pools (allow them to expiry slowly) you need: 1) keep existing primary and copy pools as they are; 2) create new primary pools (on the same disk or VTL); 3) change destination in all management classes to new primary pools; 4) create new copy pools (on new VTL); 5) backup new primary pools to new copy pools; 6) after some time old primary and copy pols will expiry. I think only this way of changing copy pools is available. It is working fine and I am able to restore data from new and old pools. I have migrated all my data recently and I am waiting for comlete expiration of data in old pools now. In addition, you can migrate data from old primary pools to new primary pools by "move data" slowly, if you couldn't wait for complete expiry time. Regards, Grigori

Our copy pools will remain unchanged. Are these statements accurate? On the day of the switch we start running the BackupSTG process against the new VTLs with all of the existing data residing on the old VTLs, the new data will be copied to the copy pools, the existing data will remain. As we migrate the data from old to new, the BackupSTG process will not duplicate the data. Meaning I will not have 2 copies of the same object in the copy pool. As we migrate the date from old to new, the BackupSTG process will not recopy the data to the copy pool.
