That huge backup will likely choke on the disk pool filling and waiting for
migration to tape.  I would take the approach, for this one exceptional
backup event, of doing UPDate STGpool ... ACCess=READOnly for the duration
of the event, so that the backup goes directly to tape.  Others with direct
experience with such DB2 backups may have more to say on approaches.
