We do not because it is too cumbersome.

The answer is what were Backupsets really created for?  When Tivoli Sales
comes in they sell backupsets as a way to send a remote user/site (laptop
users are the main ones) a place to start a recovery from so that the
transmission of the entire system over a slow link is eliminated.  The
backupset is restored first then a restore to bring in all the updates.
Dramatic savings for those slow line connected users (56K).

It can be used for servers, but that was not the backupsets' original
mission in life.
