If the backups were multiplexed try using the -mpx option....that will speed
things up by not de-multiplexing the backup.  Although the flip side is you
will get slower restores.

Hi All,

I've been trying to duplicate backups using bpduplicate.
And everytime it takes over an hour for it to duplicate
10-20 MB of data. I am using NBU 3.4.1 on W2K and a Spectralogic
12K with 2 drives. The library is directly connected to
the server via SCSI. 

Any suggestions on how to speed up the performance of 
bpduplicate will be greatly  appreciated.


Thanks,

Don
