Michele,

If you truly want one of your databases to get backed up first,
I recommend that you change your backup script to have separate
invocations of the backups, with the second invocation skipping
the one you backed up in the first invocation...
...i.e. something like this:

     .
     tdpsqlc backup bigdb full
     tdpsqlc backup * full /excludedb=bigdb
     .


Thanks,

Del
