check your bptm logs for entries that say "waited for empty buffer ####
times, delayed #### times."
=20
if you're not getting a lot of occurances of this, with numbers in the
thousands, then you won't get any better performance by increasing the
number of buffers.
=20
do a google search on Netbackup performance tuning.

        On a box with 14GB of ram, mine is set to 32.

        =20

        Would increasing this number to say 256 increase performance?

        =20

        Justin.
