Cedric,
Have you read about the "spindle" parameter in the disk list file? It
is used to allow parallel dumps only if the disk list entries are on
physically separated disks. If software compression or network are no
bottle neck it'll speed up the backup if "max dumpers" is set to at
least the maximum spindle number.
A better aproach would is to tweak the "small dumpers" and "big
dumpers" in the source. But that's not host based. There was a
discussion about it some days ago.
