I applied the change to 2 of my windows exchange servers.....here are
the results...

Without the DISKBUFFSIZE      32
Server 04 started at 20:00 and completed at 01:21
Server 05 started at 20:00 and completed at 00:22

WITH the DISKBUFFSIZE      32
Server 04 started at 20:00 and completed at 23:07
Server 05 started at 20:00 and completed at 22:35.

I will make the change on the rest of the exchange servers today to see
the result in the overall run time of the backups.  
Thanks!!

FWIW Del

I applied this change to my SAP nodes and lo-and-behold restore
throughput just about quadrupled.

But, I applied it to my exchange nodes and there was no discernable
difference. YMMV
