max frag size works well for restores but won't change your backup speed.

If your willing to pay for another option from veritas, the flashbackup option
was designed specifically for extremely large numbers of small files.

Hello all:

Does anyone have any recomendations on backing up systems that
have hundreds of thousands of small files? The recomendations
that I need would regard speed of backup as well as retrieval of
files for restore. Any config settings to make on client or
master? It was once suggested to set the max frag size to
anything other than 0 to help with restore times. Any others?
 (NB 3.2, HP-UX. L700/DLT7000's)

Thanks.
