Using more client instances on that one disk(-array) would just make the disk more busy. You could try upping the resourceutilasation of the client and the maxnummp, this might help a bit, recent AIX clients actually do multi-session backups and restores, but if the disk is the bottleneck, it doesn't help. If your server is a bottleneck, you might tnink about incremental-by-date backups, but I'd recommend faster disk (or more) for the database and log.... > -- > Mark Stapleton -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Reken- en Netwerkdiensten http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 3000 Fax. +31 20 668 3167 "I really didn't foresee the Internet.
