The MPX setting of the original backup can
greatly influence the speed of your duplications.
I’m not *telling* you to use a high mpx but it is something to consider
testing.
It is very interesting to open up two ssh
sessions, put them side by side and run a truss on both the reading and writing
bptm processes of the media server while a duplication is running and then rotate
your screen 90 degrees to the right.
That illustrates the effect MPX has much
better than I could describe in words.
