Thanks for your reply Nick. That's the good point. I am wondering, I did not change anything, why the first time, it used 4 drives but the second time only used 2 drives.

Increase the number of processes used for the offsite copy. With only 2 processes, you have 2 target tapes, so the data may only be on 2 tapes in the copypool. If you use more processes, you're more likely to have the data spread across more tapes.
