DP for Mail - Exchange: Backup multiple databases independently

Exchange database backup is launched as transaction from Exchange side of view - when all databases backup is started, databases are processed sequentially one-by-one. Until last database is backed up it is not possible to run LOG backup (type INCR).
My request is to modify behavior of 'backup *' so after successful storing backup on TSM, TDP will notify Exchange that backup of database has finished so Last_Full_Backup gets updated and flag backup-in_progress for database is set back to false. A LOG/INCR database backup could be started if needed.

    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.

    For now, you can create separate backup jobs to partition the workload and get "backup completion" sooner for a subset of databases vs. waiting for backup of all databasesto complete.
