SPP: Enable filesystem & DB Backup at the same time

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When looking in the System requirements for SPP, the following restriction is mentioned: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6421231

Only one application server or file server can be assigned per host.
For example, if a host is registered as a Microsoft Windows file system, you cannot register the same host as a Microsoft SQL Server or a Microsoft Exchange Server.

--> This leads to the problem, that it's not possible to fully backup physical SQL hosts, which is a quite common installation.
Usually the most critical database are running on those phyisical hosts.
It's essential to backup the filesysten and the databases.
