MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TAPE COPIES RAISED(#493)

• The maximum number of tape copies for a file has been raised to four.

FILESTEERING BY DRIVEPOOL(#517)

The capability to specify which drives are used in making individual tape copies has been added to the filesteering filesize.config file. This capability allows a user with multiple archives to steer where different tape copies are made. This can be accomplished by creating different storage drivepools for each archive and then specifing the drivepool to be used for each copy in the filesize.config file.
