We have three storage pools, the primary pool is a devtype FILE and the two copy pools are devtype LTO3. The offsite copy pools gets transferred offsite via DRM. Whenever I run a reclamation on the offsite copy pool the system grabs a scratch tape and then copies files from the primary pool and starts filling up tapes. I'm perfectly happy with that process. I have an issue when I do the reclamation of onsite tapes. It loads up a tape (might be scratch) and then another tape to copy the data from. It ends up doing a tape to tape copy. In a way it uses twice as many tape mounts as an offsite reclamation. And since I only have 6 drives it kinda cramps up my options sometimes. Is there a way to do a reclamation of the onsite copy pool and have it pull data from the primary pool instead of doing a tape to tape copy? I mean it can do it for the offsite pool, why not the onsite as well?
