Monte, Do you have copycontinue=yes? If so, you can have data in the primary pool that isn't in the copypool.
Regardless, I still set up a backup stgpool just in case something snuck the primary pool. The good news is that if simultaneous writes all worked, there is no work for the backupstg pool so it finishes immediately with no work to perform.

For instance... We back up our large Exchange servers to a primary storage pool 3590EXCHPOOL. These exchange clients backup exchange data directly to 3590 tape volumes. Then when all Exchange backups have completed for the night, we backup the 3590EXCHPOOL storage pool to the 3494COPY storage pool via the BACKUP STGPOOL command (ex. backup stgpool 3590exchpool 3494copy). If I was to invoke the simultaneous writes of this storage pool to the 3494copy pool, would I still need to perform a backup of the 3590EXCHPOOL --> to the 3494COPY storage pool on a nightly basis. Any help or input would be much appreaciated.. ..Monte This communication is for use by the intended recipient and contains information that may be privileged, confidential or copyrighted under applicable law.
