COPY - To create a backup
It will create an image copy of a table-space or a dataset within
a table-space. There are 2 types of image copies: full and
incremental. A full image copy copies all pages in a table-space
or dataset. An incremental image copy copies only pages that
have been modified since the last use of the COPY utility.
Copy can not be done when tables are in Check pending or
Recovery pending status.
Options - FULL YES (when table space is in Copy Pending
Status)

When you are taking Image copy, it will back up information based as you defined ( tables, tablespace, database ). As you mentioned that you are taken backup tablespace, then i will backup all information in the VSAM file or with VSAM GDG version. You can easily identify by the keyword SYSCOPY1 as mentioned in COPYDDN.
