Yes, files can be restored directly from copy pool tapes. If your primary tape is marked as Destroyed or Unavailable, AND the copy pool tape is available (read only or read/write), *SM will just go ahead and mount the appropriate copy pool tape. So when you get to your recovery site, you will need to mark the 4 primary tapes as "Destroyed" or "unavailable". Then you will need to mark your 4 copy pool tapes as "read only" (instead of OFFSITE).
