I think that restores always taking precedence is a flawed decision.
Sure, in some (arguably most) circumstances, a restore would take
priority, but if I have a situation where I've got to backup Oracle
Financials versus restore a filesystem on a dev/int machine, the restore
will wait. Granted, in this situation, I could just kill the restore and
restart it when the backup is complete.
I think that Mark is correct, NBU 5.x will include the option to pause a
backup, which would be great for those who are unable to earmark drives
solely for restores.
When we architected our backup infrastructure, I stood very firmly that
in order to meet business DR requirements which concern data
restoration, that I needed some number of dormant drives. This may not
make sense in all environements, but in my mind it was a non-negotiable
level of exposure.
