Now that would be nice - dual DB Backups, one for onsite, one for offsite.
Since you want your TSM server as "stable" as possible during the backup,
having two tape drives free shouldn't be too hard to get, or, baring that,
have all transactions held in the log while the two database backups are
running.

What I really want to be able to do, though, is generate a DB backup and a
DB
snapshot simultaneously.  (or two shapshots, really).  I can understand why
you are forbidden to extend or reduce while "a database operation is in
progress".  I don't get why you can't do a snapshot.
