How much data? What if you did a db backup, deleted all the old copy stg
volumes and then ran a new backup stg? The concern is what happens if I
take a disaster while I'm creating this new copy pool. With the db backup
you could always restore to before you deleted the stuff on the off chance
that you needed to. It isn't perfect and it will take a bunch of work to
delete all the copy volumes, but it will work and still provide the safety
you require while keeping the database smaller.

Subject: Migrating Copy storage pool to new media
We are getting ready to add a new AIT Tape library, and will
need to migrate data from our current DLT Library.
We will use migration to move the data for our primary storage pools,
but the copy pool doesn't allow a nextstgpool to be defined.
We can define a copy pool in the new library, and backup the new storage
pools to the new copy pool as the data is migrated, but this will give us
double backups of each file and require extra database space.
Does anyone know a method for moving data from one copy pool to another?
