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.
