Feature Request: Backup entire MSSQL: instance with parallelism

Dell & EMC,

As those of use who use NMM+SQL VDI know, we can't back up an entire instance using the MSSQL: command and have it run in parallelism.  This is stated as such here:

How to configure MSSQL to backup the SQL databases in parallel

Symptoms

How to configure MSSQL to backup the SQL databases in parallel

Backup using Saveset MSSQL: will backup all the db in sequence

When using input file, Backup will behave the same manner as using MSSQL:

Resolution

RFE NW122322 has been created to backup the SQL databases in parallel

Workaround: Explicitly specify each db in the Saveset field, will backup the db in parallel.

Can the Networker developers fix this so we can?  Maintaining this list of databases in a busy environment is unnecessary overhead and it would be a wonderful addition to Networker if we could run all DBs in an instance (MSSQL:) with true parallelism.

Myself and fellow Networker admins thank you!
