Humm, Are you saying that the existing drive is removed and added back as a backup drive?
Not the best way to go for a backup.

Or are you hot swapping a pool drive with a backup drive. Still not cool.

Purple means a drive is installed but not part of the storage pool, so what you are seeing is expected behavior.
