Use the selective backup option...you have to tell TSM what
filesystems/drive letters to backup but it does work.

Subject:        Running periodic Full backups

 Does anyone know how to easily force a full backup? I know about
changing the management class attribute copymode to absolute. What I'm
trying to do is run a monthly full backup to improve our restore
performance. What we're running into are many tape mounts doing a point
in time restore even in a co-located storage pool.
