when creating a zone it is enabled by default, so preventing it will be hard right? A race against the machine.

good point Daan. When creating a zone, it uses the global setting (not zone level). I also want to keep the default value to false to keep it backward compatible. But the first PR is already merged apache/cloudstack#10363, I can do that change in my subsequent PR apache/cloudstack#12296
One another point to note, if the setting is enabled, first it attempts to copy from secondary storage, if it fails then it fall back to old behavior.

I do not mind enabling by default, just something to be aware of (and maybe document here). If useful to alternate we may wat to add a switch to the zone wizard (i.e set it before enabling the zone)
