Migrate/Tier older data from containerpool to tape

Hello,

we use large file pools for our backups, these pools store a number of days of backups, then older/cold data get migrated to tape.
Currently we have some severe pains with the file pools when migration is done to a collocated storagepool, see RFE 101444.
For this reason but also because we would like to start using deduplicaton/compression we want to move to container pools.
However currently we can not move to container pools because it is not possible to migrate any old/cold data from container pool out to tape, we use tape very heavily in our environment since we have a great amount of data and keeping everything on disk is not cost effective for us.
Therefore please implement "migration" to tape for container pools asap.
Migration should be possible based on backup date, node or active/inaactive state of the object.
