Yes, I looked it up on the IBM site. For my reading, if full backups are done on each of the databses on each of the nodes, and the previous instances are deleted, it will accomplish the same result.

The best and easiest thing to do is to change the nodename of your Data Protection for SQL clients and start with new filespaces with no pre-existing objects. Make sure your management classes are set up correctly and the INCLUDE statements in the DSM.OPT file are configured correctly to bind your Data Protection for SQL backups to the correct management classes. (which includes sending the "meta" objects to a disk-only pool). This is discussed in more detail in the User' Guide. Even if you change your nodename, you can still get access to the previous data (backed up under the original node) by connecting to the TSM Server as the previous node.
