I don't use Solaris but...
There are a few ways you could do this. One way is to pass a domain
parameter for the other scheduled operation so even though you have
the same file for include/exclude the domain parameter controls what
file space is backed by each of the scheduled operations.

If you want the backup to be serialised (one schedule operation, but
have it backup different file systems) then it is even easier. Add a
domain line to your option file which will specify all the
filesystems, add your include/exclude lines, and schedule the
operation early enough so all the backups are done on time.
As I mentioned at the top I don't use Solaris, but I think that the
concepts are the same.
If I am wrong hopefully others will correct. :)
