events fragmentation and besides that, copy pools are only supported on sequential media (which a FILE stgpool is). Just have a virtual (or physical) machine on the DR site that is prepared to load the latest TSM DB backup and hwich has access to the copy pool with the same path and then you're good to go. The only caveat would be that you have to do reclamation on the copy stgpool so make sure there is some bandwidth available during the day. -km
