Going through articles on this subject, I came across this passage: """Microsoft IT discovered a way to more than double disk-to-disk backup rates using the Windows Backup utility through a registry adjustment. The adjustment increased the throughput on average from 600 MB/min to 1,200 MB/min per storage group. The adjustment is set on the user profile that is used to execute the backup script (Windows Registry - HKey_Current_User)[1]""" but I couldn't find the necessary details in the article, nor anywhere else I looked. Anyone know where they are?
