There is no exact 1 <--> 1 mapping between copy storage pool volumes and primary storage pool volumes. The data needed to restore a single primary pool volume could reside on one or more copy storage pool volumes, and a copy storage pool volume could contain data for more than one primary storage pool volume.
To find out what copy storage pool volumes are used to back up a primary storage pool volume, you can run RESTORE VOLUME with PREVIEW=YES for the primary storage pool volume. Off-hand, I can't think of any way to find out what primary pool volumes are backed up by a particular copy storage pool volume.

Is there an easy way to tell what backup volumes are backups of what primary volumes. For instance How can I tell whose whose mate if that makes any sense? --Justin Richard Bleistein
