Axel,

There are 2 places to set the MPX level.  One is on the storage-unit
definition and the other is on the scheduld definition for that
user-directed backup class.  NB will MPX at the min. of either of
these settings.  So if you want MPX to occure you need to set the
MPX on the storage-unit to 4 and you need to set the MPX on the
class/schedule to 4 even though that sched. only sends one stream
when you make the call to bpbackup you need to tell NB that it will
allow other steams to join in.
