Thanks Wanda, you are completely right, I was checked this approach a day after my question. For all other here, the correct way is: 1. Export archive node data (EXPORT NODE ... FILEDATA=ARCHIVE) 2. Delete archive data (by DELETE FILESPACE or by client GUI) 3. Change management class for archives (archive copy group) to point to new tape pool 4. Import node data (IMPORT NODE)
Archive data will be imported to new pool regarding to set of management class for given node.

That will get rid of the archive data from the tape pool That may or may not free a lot of tapes in the short term, but after RECLAIM runs you should get the space back. That takes a LOT of effort, and you no longer have a record of what was archived since the DELETE FILESPACE takes it out of the data base. Then set up separate pool for archives, and change your management classes to point there. Then I THINK you can even IMPORT the archives you have just exported (if you do it BEFORE any new archives are created) and that will force the data into the new pool...but I'm not positive about that, you'll have to test it. -----Original Message----- From: Toma9 Hrouda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 5:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Separate archive data Hi all, is any way to separate archive data from backup data for some nodes (one node in my case), when both are in one tape pool? (Mgmt class directs data of both backup and archive copy groups to the same pool.)I need to remove this archive data from tape library to offsite to clear space for backup data (archives will be processed manualy one times in month). Any idea to do it? Thanks Tom
