So what happens on the drive side if I have MPX set to 3 and then start a
backup of 2 clients that can push data fast and 1 client that are really
slow?

Is it the slow client that decide the speed of the drive then and make it
stop/rewind/paus etc. and the other clients have to wait for the slower one?

Thanks and regards,

Simon, do benchmarking with the same fileset for MPX=1,2,3,4,5,6,.. etc.

I found MPX=3 to offer the best speeds for both backup & restore (for big 
files).
