No. ontape and onbar care about dbspaces not databases.
If your databases reside in separate dbspaces in the instance then you could
backup those spaces, logically grouped but I have never found this to be
particularly useful myself.

You cannot restrict what dbspaces ontape backs up ... it backs up the entire
instance. However, on the restore, you can specify what dbspaces to
restore.
