The Why questions aside (as in "Why do this with TSM - it's not like other backup products that need a full backup?"), I'd recommend doing the weekly full backups under a different node name. To do a full box restore, you restore the full backup from the new node name, then the incrementals from the regular, nightly backups. This way you don't mess with the historical versions on the regular nightly's (basically, the "old" SLA).
