Restart Exchange 2010 backup session automatically

When the TDP for Exchange client password expires during the Exchange 2010 full backup running period, the backup sesion failed and can not be restarted as before (Exchange 2003 Lagacy). This caused our TSM admins have to rerun the Exchange 2010 full backup manually again but not very in time epecially in the nights or weekends.
So if it's possible, please modify the TDP for Exchange software to allow the backup session can be restarted by itself automatically same as before (Exchange 2003 Lagacy).

    Thank you for submitting this request. We understand your request and have considered adding this before. Unfortunately we will not be able to implement a solution in the next release or two. However, we will continue to track this internally. If after the next release of our product you would like us to reconsider your request, please resubmit it. As an alternative, there is still the ability to use scripting to check for non-zero return code and perform the retry.
