The way Remote Copy works is by taking a "snapshot" of the base/source LUN and replicates the snap to the target. It still works even if you do not have VirtualCopy licenced.
This is true for periodic/async only. Sync (and async streaming to my knowledge) does not create snapshots.

I do not know if the snaps used by RCOPY are visible/usable to the admins, I believe they are maintained by the system explicitly for the RCOPY. If true, you may need to configure a daily RCOPY and a daily VirtualCopy of the SOURCE, then also configure a daily virtual copy of the target.
This snapshot would be discarded as soon as replication of that snap is completed.
Going well outside the things I know and use, but couldn't Recovery Manager possibly help here?
