No, you can't have multiple active copygroups for a given management class. What you'll need to do is create a second nodename (with its corresponding option file which points at a non-default management class). However, you might want to consider short-term archives of data, rather than backups. With that, you can use the ARCHMC flag to control archive destinations and retention. -- Mark Stapleton
