Backupset and reclaim/move data not working together

Because creating backupsets may take several days if the server amount where the backupsets are created is large. During that time you run into problems if doing reclaim or other similar kind of processes. Backupset crashes and because you can't continue to create the backupset from the point of failure this crash is bad for the business. This is a major defect in the TSM functionality if you can't use two basic functionalities at same time.

    Thank you for submitting this request. We apologize for the delay in providing a response. We understand your use case but unfortunately we will not be able to implement a solution in the next year or two due to other higher strategic and higher demand enhancement requests. We will continue to track this internally for prioritization. If after the next release of TSM you want us to reconsider, please resubmit the RFE. We appreciate the feedback and support in making the product better.
