In out case we have a 2nd tape library in a 2nd building. One library holds primary storage pool, the 2nd holds copypools. The primary storage pool is colocated for efficient restores, the copypools are not. Neither have to have tapes checked out.

It is the DR copy pool volumes we send offsite. In a disaster, they wouldn't do us any good if they were destroyed with the data center! David
