Sounds like a mangement nightmare! (no offense intended) Why not just specify a RESOURCEUTILIZATION > 2 in the DSM.OPT file and update the nodes' MAXNUMMP value accordingly to get multiple backup streams. The way I understand it and have seen it on Windows boxes, TSM will start a backup session for each drive..resource depending.
