Hi Ben, I think you don't need reserve drive for backup DB operation. This is the highest priority process, which preempts all other lower priority processes. In other way, backup database cancel some of other processes which takes mount point, if no one is available for DB backup. Even if you disable preempt operation on server side (NOPREEMPT option), backup DB always preempts all other processes, which takes mount points.
