Christopher Basically, the answer to your question about increasing MAXNUMMP is yes. Version 5.3 of the Administrator's Reference Manual describes this very well in Chapter 11 - Managing Storage Pools and Volumes. Under the heading Using the Simultaneous Write Function to Protect Your Data there is a section on Operational Considerations which covers this aspect among others.
The only thing I would add to this is that from experience, it's no use setting the COPYCONTINUE value for the storage pool to Yes if you are using TDP. There is no code within TDP (for MS SQL anyway) to retry a failed transaction like there is in the backup/archive client so a failure on the copy storage pool will cause the database backup to fail.
