So you would have to bring them back. That would mean they aren't off-site so if you had a disaster you would lose your tapes!
Perhaps other less robust products do this, but TSM actually works exactly the way you would like. It is even smarter. Since TSM is file based rather than tape it will reclaim many copy stgpool volumes simultaneously. This minimizes the number of tape mounts requried. If you reclaim your pools correctly, this feature does not result in gross inefficiencies. It actually makes this type of operation more efficient. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.
