There is no way to copy only full backups, if any other backups are presented in primary pools.
You have to expiry all previous backups before making copy - for example, just change temporary copy groups to have 1 day retention. Be careful with TSM database logs - do expiry process pool by pool and monitor TSM database. In general, I will advise you to copy all data to copy pools instead of expiring previous backups.

It took some time to migrate the data over from the tapes used in the old tape library to the new (migrating data from LTO2 & LTO3 tapes to LTO4 tapes) but that has finally finished. While that was happening we were performing backups of client servers onto the new library, but I was not copying the data from the primary tape storage pool to the copypool to send offsite. I now wish to start this process. Is it possible to perform full backups of each client now to the primary storage pool and have the backed up data flagged so that if I start copying the data from the primary tape storage pool to the copypool via the "backup stg" command it will only copy the data from the full backups I do now onwards?
