Inherited VM options on a per backup policy level

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Backup policies defined on a per tag basis are allowed to inherit the parent options associated with the tag (i.e. defining proxy server, snapshot retries, application/filesystem consistency, etc.).

As these options get defined for a single tag, the option becomes inherited for objects associated with the tag, but these options are now global for other tags that may reference the same VM.

This causes conflict with the VM options between tagged policies as there is only one global namespace through which the options are defined.

Customer would like to provide unique options for the VM to be inherited from a tag level that would be unique for that backup policy (i.e. when running under this backup policy use these options, and when running from another, use these options).
