Thanks for the answer, I am going to try the settings in bp.conf. Well
speed of the tape drives was reason which made me think to use NFS and
do multiplexing.

Now I will mounting volumes and we create snapshots on volumes, how
does it effect me for qtrees?. I am assuming everything under snaphost
will be backed up.

Thanks
