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.

That is correct, you can only archive the entire instance (all databases).
For several different reasons (not the least the fact you can back up the
live separate to the test) I would recommend you create another (small)
instance and move your test database into this.

Diego,

Maybe you should consider making the test database into a second instance.
