Techniques are disclosed herein for improved copy data management functionality in storage systems. For example, a method receives copy usage data for one or more data copies associated with a storage array, wherein the copy usage data is indicative of a usage associated with each of the one or more data copies, and updates the one or more data copies with one or more usage tags based on the received copy usage data. Further, the method may then scan the one or more usage tags associated with each of the one or more data copies, select one or more storage tiers for at least a portion of the one or more data copies based on the scanning of the one or more usage tags, and cause at least a portion of the one or more data copies to be stored in the selected one or more storage tiers.
