Hi, Steve.

Don't hang up the TSM hat yet.  I'll bet one dbbackup to tape and two to
disk would resolve that issue.  Or heck, do all three to disk and xfer
one offsite via network (ftp, rsync, something) and you can save that
last dbbackup tape as well.

I've looked at the doc, and it doesn't explicitly say one way or the
other - Does each DB backup still require a separate tape?

If so this has significant ramifications for sites with small libraries
or  ones close to capacity.
