Do people tend to multiplex Oracle RMAN backups?  I'm on a drive to improve
throughput of our solution, looking into tuning the buffers mainly, but I
notice we aren't multiplexing Oracle backups whereas everything else is at 4
MPX.  I assume if multiplexed, restore performance will suffer, but to what
degree?  I have heard some scare stories here as explanations for why we
aren't multiplexing (1.5 hour backup taking "all day" to restore) but
suspect something else was causing them.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

thanks, Phil
